As a few others have mentioned I think the 15% fee for MTR is the typical industry standard but it can depend on the area

As others have mentioned, I recommend starting to attend some local meetups here and there just to start brushing shoulders with other brokers, investors, wholesalers, etc. to really get your feet wet without putting money on the line. 

At a $300K budget there are definitely some neighborhoods in the mentioned areas that fit your budget.

She mentioned they would like to have their own website where they have full control and can list all their properties available and potentially have them booked through this site to avoid fees associated with other platforms such as airbnb.

No loud music, parties or anything of that kind.The house was built in 1908 and not soundproof.She said she's talked to them directly and hopes that will solve the problem, but she starts school next week and is worried about her sleep.I haven't approached the downstairs tenants yet.There is a noise clause in our House Rules, which mentions "quiet hours between 10pm and 6am", which everyone has signed.I don't want to take sides or get in the middle of this issue, but I also don't want to risk losing good tenants (on either side of the argument).Any advice would be welcome and appreciated - thanks so much!

Like someone else mentioned, if you took concessions for the issue they will produce the documentation and get your case thrown out.You can pursue an as-is sale, make sure you disclose this issue.

Land banks, the city actually owns the property and can transfer it to you after the application process I mentioned above.

Hello @Shawn McMahonIn the area you've mentioned, $190 will get you a nice 2-3 bedroom condo or townhouse in Arvada or Westminster or a small house in pretty poor shape.  

Not to mention if you profit $10,000 or $20,000, you have to pay capital gains tax on it. 

Feeling that there were just too many things I didn't quite understand and that unexpected $10k repair bill.Someone should contact them and casually see if they mention the foundation repair estimates.
