@David Michael $5 million works for RE/MAX! There is a newer RE/MAX office in your town of Closter. I work out of the one in Westwood.

There is a 100% commission brokerage called United Real Estate. They have an office in Fair Lawn and a new one coming in Ramsey. I believe they just charge you per transaction. Many of the agents I see going there, aren't well established agents and I wonder myself about the business model sustainability.

Keller Williams has a 70/30 split. You pay a 6% royalty until you cap on that. I believe you cap at around $3000, then its a full 70%. Once you hit a sales volume of around $4.9 million (don't know if you are selling that much, you get a 100%. You pay $30 monthly for E&O insurance and $35 for a technology fee. They offer profit sharing if you recruit other agents and they produce and the office is profitable that month.

I left KW and I am at RE/MAX. They have different commission split options that come with various desk fees. They have 70/30, 80/20, & 94/6 split options. I would only recommend RE/MAX if you are doing a decent amount of volume.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, it’s back under contract. Could fall through though if we don’t receive the sheriff’s foreclosure deed by 2/15.

The MLS isn't a good source for multi-family apartments. You need a commercial real estate site like Loopnet.

Make the real estate brokers you are contacting are commercial brokers.

Welcome to BP! I grew up in Fair Lawn. Good area to flip in, especially if you like doing add-a-levels to the many cape cods they have there.

Needs new carpeting, kitchen appliances, bathroom updates, and a new hot water heater. Home is decent shape overall.

You would be lucky to find something that even met the 1% rule in those areas. Those are all high end areas for the most part. I would look for something that just had positive cash flow. Or look for something you can really add value to (ex ability to add a bedroom, add square footage or rehab).
