Now when I finally do receive payment the property manager takes a cut of the late fees.

That is such a CUTE tri-plex! 

Hey @Naqib Hossain, if it's the property I think it is on concord blvd I am acutely familiar with it. 

Good brokerages/teams are constantly trying to recruit new agents because an agent costs a brokerage almost nothing, but when that agent has a deal, the brokerage gets a cut of the commission.3.

I acutally have written a list of questions you should be asking your lenders when you interview them. 

I saw a cute two family house in a great town but it was so expensive to buy the numbers were terrible, but put in a call to the town planner to ask if I could put a third apartment in the walkout basement.

If you can put 50k down on two properties and obtain financing (so long as the properties cashflow) then you have a cut and dry option. 

When I get paid from a normal deal, my broker gets a cut because it's in the sellers contract.

Personally where I've had the most luck finding anybody that was serious about acutally selling their properties to me offmarket was through networking and knowing how to figure out who owns a particular property.

The biggest borrow, the US Federal Government, is acutely aware of this, so is the Federal Reserve.
