I close on most everything and then re-sell, so I'm able to use mls flat fee listings.

If someone could clear this up for me, as well as whether or not you take commissions when "wholesaling" as an agent or still take a flat fee for the contract, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Andre -Of the local wholesalers I've connected with, I've seen it all, but this tends to be what's most common in my experience from them:-Use a flat $25,000 for all properties-Take a completely uneducated and wild guess-Partner with a GC or good handyman to estimateI prefer when they use option 3 personally :)

Big possible liabilities to analyze are the shape of the roof (presumably flat) and of any chillers/heat pumps and HVAC units you have.Windows are another one to assess, for both aesthetics and replacement cost.

If the structures are wood, or have a flat roof, the choices will be limited, and much higher.

How an investor works, where they work, etc is like the secret recipe to Bush's Baked Beans.

Bush's never shares the recipes for the baked beans.

I found one that charges a flat rate for a Sunday visit.

Stuff taken down from the bookshelves, flat screen TV taken off the wall, torn and moldy shower curtains, streak marks on the toilet trap ways, closet doors jammed shut with filled boxes.

I think I've ran the course of the BMO Harris, 5/3rd, the old M&I and a dozen other big names that either ran me in circles or flat out told me they don't deal with investors at my level.
