If your getting $4,600 in rent from 8 units I’m assuming it’s a C or D neighborhood and in that case you want a 10+ cap rate to compensate yourself for the risk.

Most listing agreements have a clause that says you still have to compensate the agent if you sell the property within XXX days of expiration IF the person found the house while it was listed with the agent.

@Dave Foster   Do you know anything about the compensation structure for brokers referring investors to DST's?

I assume tthe contract addendum allowing him to do work had language about him Not being compensated for any work he did, should he fail to close. 

We noticed that a section of house the floors were not leveled but instead of tearing everything apart the sub contractor just compensated and leveled as he tiled.Fast forward to today we get a call from the down stairs owner that they were having cracks in the ceiling and once they removed to repair they noticed that 2-3 trusses were failing at the connection point.

If you really want to win an agent's loyalty compensate him something for his time, you can't put a gift in your gas tank! 

If people start calling you and giving referrals how can you compensate them?

So adjust repair expenses to compensate for the higher price.Also, in an expensice market I like to focus on areas of good appreciation coupled with good rent growth.

I used to work as a GC for many years and on top of all materials and labor my compensation always included and extra 10% just for me.
