Some agents will charge you a commission, and some will charge their buyer.

lolI will be happy to list large properties for low caps to make a great commission but I am not a buyer on them for sure.

From my understanding, this is illegal and the other broker can lose his RE license, and I believe that Im entitled to 100% of the commission.

Of course I want the best split on commission I can get.

To give you just a little bit of background, I'm pretty much the furthest thing away from a newbie, and have lived on commission income for the past 12 years.

They just want to list and market because in the time that would be required for them to protect you with all the needed information for you to know what you are buying they could list several properties they could be earning commissions on.

Hire a project manager, pay him salary/commission to align incentives and let him handle the day-to-day construction management.

I suppose the short answer is contacting the local Planning and Zoning Commission to get an understanding on What mixed useage is allowed in the complex .What is your Cost Conversion per square foot if the town allows this to happen ?"

You have a few basic things like commissions, down payments, closing costs, etc. that need ton EM calculate but they are fairly simple and it's the same few formulas over and over.
