Tom Webber fire your listing agent and list it on the MLS for a small fee of $99 yourself and you would only need to compensate the buyers agent if they bring one and that would save you 3% possible 6% of the selling price which is able to lower your price to 3% less just to sell it right away.I'm my flip property I did it that way and it work like a charm.

I am basically employing contractors that find leads on a commission based compensation.

I imagine that the length increases by some amount, but I doubt it would be a full year since many tenants feel fine riding out a month-to-month lease until they decide to leave.Do the downsides (forfeit of owner ability to increase rents after the year and potential to get stuck with a trouble tenant constantly calling for minor repairs) compensate for whatever this additional length of stay is?

I could not agree to this and the seller could not agree to a lower price to compensate for the above and so the deal fell through.As you see above although the deal fell through, I believe I learned something about the types of loan out there, closing period and alternate lenders.

OK - that's great -- you are unemployed - that means you have lots of FREE TIME - I accept your invitation to work with you ----- as a mentor.What is the compensation you are looking for?

This is why we are almost exclusively a B/B+ turnkey operator, it is very difficult to find the kind of deals in A areas that leave enough margin for instant equity to compensate for the reduced cash flow (due to high loan payments, high property taxes, etc).

It's compensation and standard of work? 

You won't get any equity rather you will end up paying more towards your closing cost i.e appraisal, compensations, origination fees etc. 

the seller, the buyer, the bank, the neighborhood, and the agent or investor (if one is involved and get compensated.

And then obviously, you would need to compensate for vacancies (average of 1 month a year?
