I spent a couple years with not much to do and a fat bank account.

They have system in place where they feed off the new agents through profit shares.So when a brokerage charges fees for fat splits to new agents retirement funds are being fattened onthe upline.Many agents that gravitate toward lower fees are struggling agents or are investors.Investors can get you in hot water sometimes trying hair brained schemes to make money.Struggling agents either are part time working a JOB or work full time but don't have many deals close each year.Both make the agents require alot of training and time because they are inexperienced or they get rusty doing a deal.

That seems more of an "Appreciation of BP" I am thinking show the guy, who must stress and stay up all night at times, a big fat thank you...

I suggest this be like real life, except you have no opportunity to judge anyone by how they are dressed or whether they are tall, short, fat, beautiful, ugly, or what ever.

The term "liability" differs considerably from the term "responsibility" in jargon of legal agreements.For example, if you hire someone to enter buy/sell orders of certain Futures contracts, and she makes a "fat-finger" mistake and as a consequence, you lose a million dollars.

But to tack a $10k fee onto a deal that's already thin (using the 70% guideline) just smacks of greed (or stupidity, or a fundamental misunderstanding of what an investor buyer is looking for).Pigs get fat; hogs get slaughtered.

"Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered."

People are cutting the fat, cutting their more challenging properties or deleveraging a bit while they have had a lot of growth in value.

We rent homes for an average of $700 a month -  that’s a fat $70 a month for the PM.

Everyone has their own agenda and could care less about you with the exception they the HML gets his money back and earns a fat profit from his short-term nearly illegal loan.
