I'm not familiar with your laws in Florida but that is a big deal in Illinois.  Even if I copy sqft information directly from the builder, if it's incorrect I can be held liable and fined for disclosing inaccurate information. 

Great comment. If you are getting a broker fee of .1% I would say you have an amazing deal and I would love to know how long you have been with that broker. I haven't seen anything close to that low here in Chicago. At that rate I would be paying money out of my own pocket on every deal lower than $375k just to cover the MLS fee and I don't think anyone is in business to loose money.

Regarding the numbers, a 200K home is a 12k commission that is split by both brokers in half.  That 6k is then split in half by my broker and myself so my pay for the deal is 3k.  A 12% discount on the whole commission equals $1,440 or 48% of my check so its not a simple .225 reduction, its a 48% cut of my earnings.  I am unable, by law, to give money that is not mine so while it may seem small to you, I am offering half of my earnings to build a relationship and a business. 

Thank you again for your comments and I look forward to hearing from you.

Every dollar counts when investing in real estate, and that is why I work to get you more money back in exchange for higher number of closed deals annually. I work in Chicago and my offer is simple. List your property with me, and when it closes for more than $75k I will give back 12% of the total commission as a rebate. This could be a $75k property or a $12,000,000 property, there is no limit on how much you could save. If you are interested in meeting with me send me your valid contact information and I will get in tough.

Good luck to everyone out there!

Sorry about that, I thought I was in the correct location.  I will adjust my placements moving forward.  Thank you for the information.

This is my first wholesale deal.  My partner and I found this through a probate case and its a solid home.  Minimal repairs are needed and the roof is four years old.  Our marketing campaign hits one week tomorrow with no interest which tells me its either a bad deal or we are bad marketers....I don't think its the former.  Comps in the area are on two levels.  The distressed properties are moving around $40k and the homeowners are buying around $135k+.  

Any ideas or offers would be greatly appreciated.  8906 S. Crandon Ave, 60617

A couple of pages with past deals and my strategies and ideas for moving forward. Something I can hand to a hard money lender to convince them to loan me cash.

I am looking for a portfolio template or company to help create my portfolio presentations. Ideally, one presentations for five different strategies is what I am looking for. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
