When I go into quickbooks, I can generate profit & loss statements any which way I like for whatever time period I'm interested in and see how each property is performing.

These services are huge savers of time and increase your returns in the long run.

It's two seperate transactions for tax purposes,  neither one changing the outcome of the other just because they occured at the same time... in theory it would probably be better to simply have the amount of the commission deducted from closing costs if at all possible, but if compensation was already being offered througu listing broker, it is what it is.

At that time I will get the house cleaned up and list it on the market and when it sells I've agreed to get reimbursed my costs for reinstatement plus any other costs plus a fee for my efforts.

Quote from @Enrique Toledo: I came across a really good seller financing deal and I would like to purchase it as my first deal but I don’t have enough money for the down payment.can I use a lender of some sort to give me money for the down payment?

OPI would assess your fire potential first.  

Instead, we protected our investment by following our SOPs, verifying everything, and never assuming the first answer is the full story. 

One time when I bought on owner financing, I totally forgot that I didn't have property taxes included in my interest-only payments to the seller. 

To me most of the time they're never fixed.
