Free and clear properties start to make more sense on the percentages, but no matter how you slice it, it’s a big chunk of the profits!

I’m sure it will work great for an elderly person, it seems to IRS scams take the elderly for 100’s of millions of dollars a year you could go get your slice of their pie too.  

When all the attorneys and receivers see bunch of assets they just go crazy each trying to get a bigger slice.

I think the system could work with a smaller overall commission and a bigger slice of the compensation going to the buyers agent(maybe partially funded by the buyers).

Yet the rise in housing prices over the past 25-30 years has not only outpaced family income {which has been stagnant for all but a very small slice of the populace}, but the rate has been accelerated.The average house price in Canada {according to the National House Price Index as of September 2013} is $385,906.00 - up 8.8% over the past 12-months.

So slice it in half, look around the property (inside and out), go to closing.

Or are they selling a slice of future income from a rental stream? 

DM me anytime and happy to share anything w/ you my man! Go

(do we still say sliced-bread, or did that expire in the 80's?).

As for realtor fees, those get sliced out of the short sale, don't worry about it coming out of your pocket.
