We did not use real estate agents and are using my agent as a transactional agent only for a $1,000 flat fee. 

They charge a flat rate ($3200) to list.

I just purchased a foreclosure in Walton, NY to get out of the NYC and need a flat roof. 

If you are most serious about getting them out, spend the $500 and hire a flat fee attorney. 

You can not wholesale any property without having to pay your broker a percentage / flat fee, whichever you work out with them.  

That's why I work with investors and offer my flat rate to help them out.

This is, admittedly, a half-baked idea.

That tax liens are guaranteed is a flat out lie by people promoting tax liens.

You can do a simple web search to find brokerage firms that will hang your license for a flat fee verse a % of every sale/purchase but you won't get much assistance from them and I am not sure exactly how "legal" all that is.Other things to consider, 1) there is a fee to have access to and be able to list on the MLS, 2) I think the state requires you to carry or it would be a very good idea to carry Errors and Omissions insurance commonly called E&O insurance 3) if you plan to tour properties, you will need to get those electronic keys that agents have and I am guessing there is an annual fee associated with that.Those are the big ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I was looking at gas and water paid by landlord and thought I could charge $55 each for gas and water as flat every month fee.
