Lately I've been doing flat fee commissions on property or very low commissions with very generous agents bonuses at closing.

I don't know if it's socialist but it is a clear example of the corruption we're in.This bailout is the equivalent of dumping taxpayer dollars into WorldCom to prop it back up, taking Bernie Ebbers out of prison and giving him a bonus, then blaming 401k's and tech stock investors for their scandalous greed.

Will, I invest mainly for cash flow and any appreciation that comes in the future is a bonus.

It has been an added bonus for my newbies that I am there to help them out with any problems.

It galls me even more to see these guys walk away with big bonuses.

Thank god for the bail out .. the CEOs almost didnt get there $5M XMas Bonus!

The bonus that I found a few years back is when the rental industy was a bit sluggish, due to large amounts of first home buyers leaving their rentals to purchase thier first home, I did not have a giant decrease in rental applicants.

The only positives seem to be value-added bonus points to your tenants - saving them a trip to the laundromat.

I've always had a bonus system , with a base % and a graduated bonus beginning at 90% and rising to 100% of rent collected per month.

Offer a $1000.00 cash bonus to the buyers agent at closing.
