.* When selling a property on a lease option, realtor commissions are not necessary.* Check your state laws and talk to a REI attorney and escrow/title company about facilitating the transaction and all the needed paperwork for your area.

You may also have to split a lot of your commission with a broker, depending on the structure of the agencies near you. 

Most of this business is commission only, so get used to working for free and busting your butt.

The commission to the broker is paid out of the seller's side (almost always, as they are the ones who signed a listing contract agreeing to pay the broker a commission on sale of property). 

Hello All, I am new to Bigger Pockets and I recently started a Job in Commercial Real Estate working on a commission basis.

Get a local real estate agent (maybe someone that just begins his RE career and will appreciate the $$) and sign a rental listing agreement, normal commission is ONE month rent.4.

Example: I don't see commission listed anywhere. 4.)

While a realtor has to make a sell to gain commission the chances of all the properties you manage being vacant at once are very slim, therefore expect a monthly steady income.

While in Austin I was going to get my RE sales license and focus on leases/apartment locating, but now that I am back in New Orleans I have noticed that the leasing works totally different here,  hence puts my plan out of commission.

If you're suddenly force to sell and overpaid to start, plus all the commissions and closing costs, you could lose your shirt.
