The agent who ultimately caused the buyer to purchase the home and earned the commission is generally the procuring cause agent.

If you're earning $15-18K in profit per project, I'm going to assume your all-in costs are going to be about $100K (that could be a bad assumption, but if you're earning 15-20% on your money per project, that's about right).So, he'd be contributing about $15K per project.

You haven't factored in future vacancy, rent loss, capital expenses, etc. into your equation, which would likely take your expense ratio to somewhere closer to 45-55%, or earning about $1000-1200/month before debt service.Speaking of debt service, you mentioned a $75K loan, but nowhere in your post have you mentioned your debt service payments -- they will detract from your cash flow and cash-on-cash return.Not saying this is a bad deal -- I just don't think you've analyzed it correctly to determine how good (or bad) of a deal it is).
