How Do You Compensate Your Acquisitions Manager / House Buyer?
With more leads coming in I am considering taking on an assistant. My first thought is to hire a buyer to train, assist with marketing, visit properties, and make offers.
If you have buyers on your team, how do you compensate them? Commission only? Base + commission? Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like your business is going well & you're starting to systemize it. We don't have "buyers". We do have independent property finders, photographers & virtual assistants. Property finders get paid when deals close. Photographers get paid per job. Virtual assistants get paid per hour.
