Many advisors don’t understand the complexities of real estate investing, fail to provide tax strategies, and, unfortunately, some are more focused on selling products for commissions rather than offering real value.That said, not all financial advisors are the same.

No commission is earned only a fee for their time and expertise.Typically sellers want to avoid attorneys to save the costs.

While we primarily focus on the Texas/Oklahoma market, apparently receiving a commission for finding deals or bringing investors without a real estate license could be illegal.

That really spoke to her integrity - she could have suggested I sell off my California single family rental and made a lot of commission off me.

This isn’t really a big deal though.Rent payments can be abated over unresolved maintenance issues and tenants failing to abide by S8 requirements.Many S8 housing commissions will not hold tenants accountable for damages they cause (tenant is supposed to repair or lose their voucher).

Commissions are not capped.. commissions are negotiable up or down..

What's the average commission in the zip code offered?

The seller already has given me a good deal on the property due to her being forced to return to NYC for work post-covid (seller is paying $20K out of pocket after overpaying for the property 2 yrs ago, and sellers agent is taking a commission cut to make the deal work).

The commission you pay to the platform is an expense but it doesn’t not impact your gross revenue only your net.
