Buyers agent cost
Question for anyone who has bought an investment property using a buyers agent.
When it came time to pay the buyers agent fee, how did you handle it? Did it come out of savings, did you factor it into your borrowing, or was it just another cost you had to wear on top of the deposit and stamp duty?
I'm a property investor myself and I'm exploring a concept where the buyers agent fee gets funded upfront and repaid gradually through the rental income of the property once it's tenanted. So buyers can engage a buyers agent without needing that extra $10k to $20k sitting in their account at settlement.
Curious whether this is actually a pain point for people or whether most investors just factor it in and move on.
Drop a comment or inbox me if you've got a view on this. Would genuinely love to hear how people handle it.
