I have, however, paid a realtor to show a lease option house that I already had under contract, that was outside of my area (flat rate $500 fee). 

I want to have a mountain getaway and a flat in Manhattan or San Francisco.

The flat is a small 46m2 and having an island which is portable means the tenant will be able to move it around to create a larger space.Thanks!

I don't like this route because it puts the insintive on placing tenants and not retaining tenants.Management fees range from flat fees around $85/mo and 10%.

Nope, can't have that.On top of the pressure exerted by the team, many of these gov. officials are flat out corrupt.

Most people, and not just tenants, don't have a cash cushion for emergencies, and are one flat tire away from disaster.

I myself am married with 2 kids, Im Norwegian, and have 2x 2 bedroom flats in my home city in norway.

Not saying that he will overcharge you or work slowly, but that's certainly where his financial incentive is for that particular job (hopefully he thinks longer-term, but many contractors don't).Negotiate a flat rate for well-defined work, and go from there...

The gurus leached onto the "how to" aspects and if they are just halfazz careful, they have no requirement of meeting any legal aspects, they can flat out lie, mislead and embellish without consequences.

I forgot to mention that it is flat and ready to build.
