Most of these brokerages charge minimum fees to keep your license active while still maintaining your license.

When we sold the house we did not charge the investor a commission.

You can theoretically have a higher rate from one lender with lower origination fees and total finance charges may come in lower.  

I can do that through charging points, but since I'm getting it at a lower rate than you could as a consumer, I prefer to mark up the rate while still being lower than most others in the market.

If the broker is using a private lender, the lender usually charges points/or higher rate.

Since the buyer is not able to get bank financing, you are charging a few % points higher.So your $289k house might sell for 320k at 9.9% for 30 years.

I forgot to mention another sales tactic is to tell people at the three day class you can charge your investors the 40k tuition.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Most folks are charging 10% of the rental rate for monthly PM fees. 1 months rent for a leasing fee and couple hundred for a lease renewal.
