I wouldn't take much stock in what your realtor recommends, they typically list higher than what it's worth to lock you into the deal  I use flat fee and can sell myself or MLS which works very well for me in the event I do a creative sale. 

One coat of paint won't hold up for long in our location and may not even cover the paint that's already there.We've been replacing gutters over the past few years, all of which are baked in same color of which the community is already painted. 

My investor and I originally came up with the idea that we would be splitting everything 50/50 but since I have no cash in the game I threw a few ideas at him including different splits or paying me a small flat fee, but before I sent him a firm proposal I wanted to run it by you all...As all the guru's and BP podcasts talk about, I need to know my "why".

I finally found and bought some apartments in Fl at a 23% cash on cash return, not a bad deal, but I had to put $350K into a $1.5 M property w 30 yr Amort and 4.6%.

I posted about this experience recently: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8160/71180-we-...With a master metered property, you have a few options: (1) you become responsible for the water bill and include a flat fee in the rent (2) sub-meter the property so each unit is on their own meter, making the tenant responsible (typically VERY expensive) or (3) implement Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS), this is where you are still responsible fo the water bill but through a formula and spreadsheet bill back the tenants their fair share.

People still bought real estate.Stagflation will only be a problem if wages are flat to negative in the face of rising costs to consumers.

I see either $75-ish or the cost is baked into the nightly rate. 

It appears to be a flat fee MLS company. 

It's crazy.Most of the 2 flats are also overpriced.

If your researching a new market what is a good way to get information on the area (Call PM - Ask them what 2/1 3/1 Rent For, Vacancies, Are fees based on Rent or Flat Fee, Etc).4.Reply below and I'll add it to my List, I meet with him next week so I'll give a run down on what we discuss and notes.Thanks,
