You could pay them a small percentage of each deal.Not too long ago, I started using "GotVmail" and that's somewhat of a virtual answering machine.

Hopefully, our group becomes a well oiled machine cranking out great information relevant to our local market, connections, deals etc...

Buying new appliances is like putting money in a slot machine, you're going to lose.

I believe Bill put it best when he stated that the that I am undoubtedly aware of your invitation and that maybe the forum related to commercial services would be more fruitful in attracting new clients.

We want to get the machine "oiled" and running impeccably and we always seem bogged down with renovating new buildings.

Sorry if I sound like a nut...desperate times call for desperate measures...just sent Ocwen a mort-mod package but I will be amazed if the endeavour is fruitful...We make $150K/combined but FRUGAL living (never had honeymoon or vacation) plus medical, stud-loans & the $3700/mo payment is still too-tight.

To figure the cap rate, you take the gross rents plus any miscellaneous income (laundry, coke machines, etc.) and subtract ALL expenses except for the debt service (the mortgage payment).
