Due to transfer taxes (a percentage of the amount for which the property sold which is paid to the government), the agent wants the price as low as possible if he has to buy it for the bank; thus keeping the taxes down.

If rents are higher, and you still want that $100, you can have a lower percentage.

I got a store credit for $160.I always think of this whenever anyone brags about the great percentage returns on their deals.

That's a current APR of 84%, which is ungodly, but obv who knows whats going to happen in the next 10 months.Biggest Percentage Increase: Apple (AAPL)I purchased 100 shares at 140/share, then a month later, purchased another 100 shares at 147/share because I felt strongly that this stock was going to continue to perform.

When you only get $350 per door in gross income, expense percentages are inheritantly higher than larger rent values to expense ratios.

There is a small percentage, however, that are self motivated and smart enough to apply what they have learned and become a success.

As I gain knowledge, I'm sure that percentage will climb.I look forward to interacting with you and others on this site.

Run it is a completely business-like manner.Then you earmark a percentage of your profits to be used to help people.

This way, the tenants become much more invested in maintaining the property and believe they got a great deal on the place making them much more likely to stay long term.† If you hire professional property management make sure you pay based on percentage of rents collected so you don’t incur excess expenses on vacancies.If you have multiple back up exit strategies you can go forward with confidence on any deals.† Just make sure you increase the spread you normally work with to give yourself the most options.

correction of the profit percentage on my last post:the $2,500 is 5% of the net profit.
