As an investor a 10% return wouldn't compensate me for that kind of risk as I'd be inheriting the problem if it was a bad deal OR only getting a 10% return if its a good deal (i.e. no upside)Not criticizing you - just curious on your response to that issue. 

like others said .. no agent is going to show the house unless the buyer specifically ask to see it.your being dollar wise and pound FOOLISH.. you will lose in negative cash flow everything you hoped to gain by trying to cut commish.. it just is what it is. brokers work on compensation just like anyone else .. when the rest of the selling community is offering 2. 5 to 3%  why are they going to spend time on yours..  

Even when you have friends and or family, you need to compensate them for their support.
