Hi All,
Being new to property investing, I have been recently asked to consider purchasing through a buyer agent. I would appreciate any suggestions with using a buyer agent (i.e advantages and disadvantages)
Details via link below:

After reading through the advised plan and products, I have gathered the following advantages:
1. Property will be brand new in new development areas (No stamp duty)
2. Property will be purchased and managed via their management strategy (guarenteed rental)
3. No future costs apart from an % of initial purchasing cost
I was also advised that by going through a buyer agent, they are able to negotiate a lower purchase price compared to the market price by minimum 10 to 30% (since they are dealing with a large amount of properties, they are able to better negotiate price with developers)
(Obvious disadvantages are: uncertainties with regards to location of new development areas, rental yield may be lower than an existing area.)
What might be some other disadvantages I might need to consider?
