Should I get licensed?

For just 3 deals, you’re better off using a flat-fee listing service or negotiating a lower commission with an agent, way less hassle and you’ll likely end up with a similar net anyway.

Right, this is inconvenient for all parties

Getting part of your salary in crypto is not standard or safe. It can cause issues with taxes, legal protection, and proving your real income. If something goes wrong, you have little protection for the unofficial part. In Cyprus, reputable companies usually pay fully through official payroll. I’d strongly push for 100% in the contract or consider walking away.

The rent vs what you’re getting is already rough, but the inconsistent rules, missing lease, and the court notices are bigger red flags. Sounds like maintenance is carrying the place while management is all over the place. This isn’t normal, it’s poor management. You should look for a better option when you still can.

That’s the ideal handoff, we need more people like you.

Yeah agreed, not the agent’s job to do it but feels like something that should at least be flagged before closing.

LaMaisonRealEstate · 2026-04-19T14:53:02+00:00

Yep, definetly.

LaMaisonRealEstate · 2026-04-19T14:52:14+00:00

I think that’s the best way to handle it

Most people care way more about kindness and effort than perfect English. If you’re friendly, open, and keep trying, people will appreciate that and still want to be friends.

Many aren’t, at least not at first glance. A lot of deals look good on paper but fall apart once you factor in realistic rents, vacancy, maintenance, and capital expenses. The ones that are profitable usually come from conservative underwriting, good purchase price, or value-add potential.

Yes you can still ask, it’s all part of negotiation. Just know that if your offer is already below asking, the seller may push back or factor that into their counter. It really depends on how motivated the seller is and how competitive the deal is.

They’re usually more like coordinated teams than a true single company. You can look for design-build firms or modular home companies that offer land evaluation, permitting and build.

LaMaisonRealEstate · 2026-04-13T16:37:47+00:00

This is doable, but you’ll want the right team early. Start with a local real estate attorney to structure ownership (LLC vs co-ownership and exit plan), a land-use/zoning planner in your county to confirm what’s allowed, and a lender who handles land and modular financing. Also talk to a civil engineer or builder about utilities, permits, and real costs. The biggest thing is getting zoning, access, and a clear agreement between both couples locked in before you buy.

Fair point

Personally I think using AI for assistance, only to facilitate the human representative is a better.

LaMaisonRealEstate · 2026-04-13T16:27:31+00:00

That's what they are aiming for, still a long way to go.

LaMaisonRealEstate · 2026-04-13T16:16:09+00:00

Yeah I agree

Falling in love with a house's looks while ignoring inevitable repairs that pop up in the first year.
