The flat fee buyer agency fee reduces the amount of the buyer credit/refund, generally by $6,000 (although options range from $999 to $8999, depending on how much help the buyer wants from the agent).

However, that was a fluke.Warranty companies are in the business of making money.

@Makani Donaldson it all depends on your investment goals.If you buy a Class A rental, it'll usually have negative cashflow, which will be hopefully offset with appreciation and better tenants.If you buy a CLass C or D rental, it should have pretty good cashflow because you may not realize much in appreciation and you'll have a lot more problems finding good tenants.

It just depends.

Most PM's here charge 15-20%, most are 20, but will depend on what services they offer.

I'm not thinking of 'scaling' my business by becoming a 'passive investor' in someone else's business.

Quote from @John Lasher: I've heard from so many investors that they have put a pause on their flipping business.

It does depend on the lender.

That higher interest will be a lower cost than the closing costs for the refinance so a net gain (depending on your new loan size). 

It links to our business bank account and our business credit card so come tax time, deductions should be easier.
