I make $3000 renting it out, the mortgage is $1500 plus the utilities so I am profiting $1000/mo.

It has become so big that customer support is almost nonexistent unless you pay for the highest tier of pricing.

Tenant pays all utilities but garbage.

Hi Sherrie, There may be a few routes for you to best utilize the equity in your current home. 

If you wave the commissions and you ask for a reduction in the price to offset the difference of not receiving a commission it's still taxable.It's a rebate if a customer of yours receives a portion of the commission to offset closing costs during the transaction.

Not for customers?

In terms of debts, I agree with @JoeHammel - A title company is the best resource to check on all liens which could be contractor, IRS, bankruptcy, local utility bills or property tax, child support, etc. 

I am a contractor , I am not there to save the customer money , I am there to solve a problem , I am in business to make money . 

Can you please shares insights on the cost structures with respect to the various taxes levied and cost to run (cleaning, handyman, utilities etc).

They had no clue why and found out through their neighbor that the utility water meter was leaking.
