***If you had to sell the traditional route – Realtor*** List Price = $132,000Negotiating discount (4%) = - $5,280Realtor commission (6%) = - $7,920Closing cost (buyers request) (2%) = - $2,640Misc.

That $4100 rebate I would have made as a commission was a nice bonus.

The FHA purchase would almost be no money if I roll in closing costs and add my commission. 

I would accept to purchase their house immediately for a 5% discount below what they think the market value is (I could show them comps), as well as discounting the standard 6% RE sales commission.

., apparently loan officers are charged back their commissions if the property sells before 6 payments are made.

Just to pick your brain a little more if possible, how would I find the fixed cost for my area (insurance, closing cost,commission,inspection fees etc..) would you recommend the same apps or something else?

The profit on the flip will be miniscule and I would prefer the rental stream vs paying the commissions and taxes.   

Thanks  Loan officers or originators, whatever you want to call them, are generally paid on commission. 

I've been noticing some celebrities that buy houses and then they list them for what might be break even or a loss even after paying real estate commissions/closing costs, property taxes ,maintenance over the time they owned it.. .and that's not even taking into account the massive amounts they likely spent on renovation.

It will be similar to using a low cost redfin agent, they only save on sell side commissions though.
