Do you charge a one time fee after the grace period passes and then a daily flat fee after that when rent is due bi-weekly?

My wife and I are trying to get a low down payment (5% down) conventional loan on an owner occupied 4 flat.  

1) This needs to be a country in which everyone participates so the 50% that don't pay taxes need to and it needs to be a flat and simple tax that could be done on a 3X5 card.2) Balance the budget!

With Roger (Investors Accounting), I believe most people people pay a flat rate per year for all consulting, tax advising and tax prep -- I've paid a fixed rate for the past 12 years.As for the cost, you can certainly find less expensive if all you care about is tax prep. 

Here in Denver I think its flat at best.Do the tenant/buyer's already have cash out of pocket trying to close now?

I received a quote which I feel is very high.This is even after I told the company that I do not pay retail.On one of my chimneys there is a rusted out rain pan for the chimney top.I had the roof guy take pictures to confirm and show me while I was there.The cap that slides over the rain pan is fine.For a new rain pan the quote with labor is 425.00 which I think is really high for a flat piece of metal.On my buildings I have some exterior glass panels that are cracked and need replacing.I have 3 bigger window panes say 3 feet by 4 feet sliders.Then downstairs I have small slider windows next to the front door say 28 by 14 inches.For the 10 panes they want with 2,350 which comes to 235 a window.Let me know If I can find a better deal or what the cost should be.Sliders,frame,and everything else is fine it is just the glass is broken and needs replacing.

In the overall Rochester Market, prices have been flat.

The big banks flat-out suck to work with.

If through a listing broker it will depend on what the listing broker entered on the MLS and MLS rules.In Georgia for instance on FMLS if as a broker you screw up and enter commission wrong,mistake things etc. you can be on the hook for the commission or lose access to the MLS.MLS's are sometimes controlled by REALTOR associations and other times are private entities that are non-profits or for-profit organizations.Also the brokers/agents involved it would matter if they were REALTORS or not.Generally your state's real estate commission does not handle commission disputes.They only care about license laws.The agent can argue procuring cause with the other agent but it should not stop your sale.Simply you would close and get your proceeds and the commission in question would be froze until a solution was given and signed in writing or a court order.There are so many variables to this and it is state specific.Procuring cause is a chain of events leading up to a sale of a property.If the chain is broken generally the broker/agents is not due a commission.The moral of the whole story is the buyers agent needs to learn how to protect themselves in the future.I am not going to court to get my agents commission when I only charge them a 300 flat fee as a broker.No legal advice

He's responsible for paying it back and should be looked at as if he was pulling it out of his own checking account.Anthony - For the cash you need from him, I would simply borrow it from someone and pay a flat return (15-20% ?)
