Notably, the inventory shortage is most acute at the lower end of the price spectrum, with available properties worth $500,000 or less posting double-digit percentage declines in the past year.

I could take that equity and use it for a possible flip or expand my hopeful real estate aspires, and give him a cut of the monthly rent/profit. 

I got lucky on having my second offer being accepted, in a cute neighborhood in the Northern part of Spokane.

The goal would be to be able to turn visitors into repeat business and book them outside of AirBnB and VRBO so that you don't have to give a cut to the booking sites.

I'm a plumber and it's so bad to find help we'd hire almost anyone if they're acutally eager to learn.

As a builder/developer, I’d be shocked to hear that there is enough room in the deal to discount the houses to you, for you to pay a cut to your colleague, and for you to make enough all said and done to justify the risk of tying the house up personally

I think getting some quotes from different managers would be helpful when negotiating a % cut on the property income.I wouldn’t say I’m “worried” about cash flow, as this property still has to break even but in the event it doesn’t, I am still living for cheap or free, and in the event the numbers are right I will turn profits every year.

Often they are trying to sell me with a cute picture of their pitbulls or some other things that would clearly not qualify them for the place. 

In a cut throat market, your offer needs to stand out above all others..

So it is not a cut and dry method.
