For instance, how did you learn how to identify class-A locations?

For instance if he says $20,000 in repairs I’m not that worried and will offer close to where I figured I could offer based on income and expenses.

For instance, with a conservative estimate of 1 month of vacancy per year and 1% of the property value in annual maintenance costs, you could be looking at an additional $2,000+ in costs annually, not to mention the effort and time involved in managing these issues from afar.With all that said, real estate is worth the effort but not all deals are created equal.

I for instance never claim meals, I figure I'm gonna eat anyhow, and the paltry amount is not worth the hassle.

@Cameron RileyYou’re wrong for not understanding your recourse in this instance.

Review your contract with your agent but on these instances yes you can back out but again it depends on what the contract statesThis will be a great example moving forward with agents and the good buyers agents working on behalf of the buyers

I do wonder if I leads to more inventory though, I have for instance another client that this 2.5% might be the difference in deciding to list or not, for sellers without a lot of equity that 2.5% can be the difference between writing and check or not, which in addition to some people not having the money to cut a check is also a huge psychological barrier, there are probably even some people on the margins who have in thier head they will only sell if they can net 100k in profit or some random number like that.

For instance, I make much more money in Appreciation (the Investment aspect of RE) than the fees I charge for managing the property or even the Cash Flow.2) "Cash Flow is NOT a characteristic of the Property. 

For instance, if the tenant accidentally sets a fire and burns the property down.  

For instance, a brand new townhouse construction that is immediately ready to begin renting.
