I have done many deals that individually provided rewards greater than $4,000.

You'll have to come to terms with forgoing some of your profits---you'll need to quantify the rewards/risks for taking this approach.

The longer it takes and the more it costs the better they do.Consider a mixed model where they get a fair reward for on-time and on-budget but they get more for doing better than that.

If you believe that one agent isn't up to par, fire him and get another one - but don't lead him to believe that his hard work is going to be rewarded when there is the strong possibility that it won't.

my friend doesn't have any money either, its just that he is willing to take the risk & the big reward on the rehabing side of the dealme i don't want to take the risk on the rehab side of it (especially on this property), i just want to get the property under contract to flip it to him for say 5-to-10 thousandnow the property i believe is'nt owned by a bank, its owned by some corporation which i'm having a hard time finding info on them and how they come to own this particular property, and why their willing to sell this property this cheap and etc (actually after some more digging i think the company is a lawyers office or something, because that is whats coming up as the owners of this property, so i don't know if it really is a bank behind this deal but their using this law firm to dispose of it for them or what)now i couldn't find the name of this corporation, but the address i got off the tax assessors record, i researched it and the building is nothing but a bunch of law firms and etcits just that all the stuff i've read on wholesaling nothing really stated anything about having to come up with that much money just to get a contract on a property and etc. i know what earnest money is but most of the stories i here is people using between 10-100 dollars or so just to tie a property up..............now is mine higher because of the real estate agents lack of trust or something

I welcome the help.I'll look forward to the rewards of being part of this community.Be blessed!!

Additionally, I have set up a rewards system based on surpassing milestones within my goals.

Maybe not pure-pure profit as you still have all the other possible costs of buying and selling or wholesaling.The issue is the up front costs and are you really going to get deals worth your time.Like any marketing you really can not tell what will happen until you have run the system for a while (6 months or more).You should try to contact existing members who are paying the fee and see what their results look like.Most successfully RE investors know that different forms of marketing work at some level so it is a cost vs. reward question plus the upfront costs vs. the back end profits (cash flow management).Everyone can find ways to do things on the cheap or cheaper.
