If all you are trying to do is introduce people with money to the person with the deals and try to take a cut for that introduction, your business won't last long once you run out of investors in your network.

Sponsors take a cut of sweat equity in the deals.  

@Brandon Sturgill Roofstock gets a flat fee from the buyers (mine was $500 and that's it), and I'm sure they get a cut from the sellers, but I don't know how much.

yes guru's teach that just having a contract gives equitable interest.. that simply is not true it is in their mind but the only one who can rule on that would be a judge if it ever got that far.  500 .  00 EM is not equitable interest especially if they don't acutally have the funds to close 

good luck with lower end rental appreciating.what I have seen with that market is some pretty cool new construction infill were you can acutally build a new home and make 50 to 75k in 9 to 10 months. takes a lot of cash flow rentals to equal those numbers.I dont have a team there but its on my radar .. rentals are not my bag to small of income and no upside.but i liked what i saw in the new construction space.

risk you take.. someone was willing to work on a smaller profit margin. generally speaking as long as this other investor can acutally close not a wholesaler trying to middle man it.. your probably done.however let me tell you how one of my best vendors works. ( I fund his deals)call comes in on his direct mailhe takes call live ALWAYS and if he cant talk then still picks up. says he is in the area and can be there in 2 hours or would 3 be better.. you get the drift take control.has his contract pre written when he walks in.. and his goal is signature at that point. takes some skill he has it I used to have it when I actually dealt at the street level I could close almost any deal in less than two hours.. but I was trained by some of the best in the business..

I'm new to the scene and curious about the process of listing apartments for rent.Do any/all sites take a cut of the deposit as a fee? 

If you want to know what it's acutally worth at the moment, you need to do a comparable sales analysis.

Most charge for finding a tenant and take a cut of the monthly rent so there may not be much left over for you.

Our side is almost a mirror image of the other unit, yet also includes a cute private side yard, a large kitchen island and more high end finishes.
