Out here in CA I'm always interested in seeing the cost differential between our vertically integrated developer clients, and a retail build-out developer clients.

I regularly attend workshops and seminars to stay updated on industry trends and best practices.

There is a joke in the industry that anyone who says "I've been doing it this way for (insert number of years here)!"

I did a ton of research and talked to dozens of people in the insurance industry before reaching a decision.

I'm just an investor in SFR/small MF and the vineyard/wine industry near there.

Currently, I'm focused on selling new construction duplexes in downtown Indianapolis, which offer great potential for long-term investment.While I'm still relatively new to the industry, I've found that consistency and reliability often trump the allure of high-risk, high-reward strategies.

After graduating college with a degree in both marketing and finance I transitioned to the lending side of the real estate industry.

As a few others have mentioned I think the 15% fee for MTR is the typical industry standard but it can depend on the area

At the time when the chemical industry discovered farmers as a huge market all sorts of herbicides and pesticides (the are banned today) were introduced, stored and disposed of basically into the ground: the farmer did not want to have stuff growing between the barn and the farmhouse anyway, so seemed like a good spot to kick that barrel over.

These things hold their value amazingly well.If I had to guess, if you bought it for 40k and only used 9 or 10 times, the hours on the machine would be so low you could probably resell it for 35k or better (given that their retail value would go up over three years so the discount from say 48k to 40k might even mean you break even)..
