She mentioned that she had one higher but the person wasn't very serious, so she went with my offer.

At the end of the day, all agent commissions (and all other fees for that matter) get taken out of the deal pot, so while it may appear one side is "paying for it", the buyer could get a lower price and the seller could get a higher price, without it.You think you have a deal struck, but in reality you are net at $175k and the seller is at $180k.

This could be a way to guarantee a steady stream of income while still working on higher-margin deals separately.

-Carrot sites are converting 33.3% higher than the industry standard for real estate.In short- if you have aspirations for generating organic leads in this space, Carrot is the way to goAlso I'd be more than happy to setup a zoom call to walk you through anything on the Carrot side and make recommendations on agencies if you were looking to outsource the paid ads.

Especially if you have 3 bedrooms = up to 6 people.It should cost about 5k, but you won't get much higher rent, simply because people in don't have it.

I personally do a mixture of both; investing in NJ (more expensive but higher appreciation) and investing out of state (more cash flow but less appreciation).

The reason I am interested in this is because I don't have a ton of cash to put down but I want to acquire more properties even if it means paying a little bit of a higher rate and/or price. 

They may come back with a higher number or they may say NO.

All of these properties are not local go me and some have higher interest rates.

Personally I’d try to stick with 1-2 projects that had a potential for higher margins than to try to scale up and need more workers and more headaches.
