ex-exit rehab costs (but including exit commissions etc.), that's a 10% IRR.

This can be true; but, I've seen the value both rise and diminish, depending on the scale of the proposed project.If you decide to sell, keep in mind that the inquiring agent will undoubtedly expect you to pay the commissions, thus affecting your overall cash to find a larger abode.As an added note: My daughters survived a small house; and, the wife and I are quite comfortable now and don't need to "downsize."

I don't see any selling cost other than real estate commission.

Ask that agent how much equity she needs from the transaction and you might pay a little more if the seller works with you and ensure the agent knows she will get her commission (That's what they want to know in these deals).

Many sellers have little equity and can't afford the costs to sell, notably but not limited to listing commission, closing costs, seller's concessions, price reductions, etc.

I own a small boutique brokerage - and need to find an entrepreneurial agent(s) near Wellesley, MA (or near Boston Massachusetts) that is willing to do some of the legwork in the short term in exchange for higher commissions over the long term.

In all of the states I've worked in (as an assessor) there have been three steps: (1) an informal request for review of the assessment to the local assessor; (2) an formal appeal to a local appeal board; and (3) a formal appeal to circuit court, tax tribunal, or state revenue commission.

Hello BP,I'd like to get opinions from fellow BP members on the following question.When a person first becomes a real estate agent, they have plenty of costs/expenses: both personal and business expenses.My question is: in order to be able to pay for costs like marketing, advertising, fees, phone, computer, rent, gas, car - how do you feel about a new real estate agent using debt to be able to pay for those costs and hold them over for a certain period of time until they're able to start cashing commission checks?

I'd contact a well known developer in that area for their thoughts on presenting your project to any zoning commission and the notices likely required.Before I went to all that trouble and expense, I'd talk to your lender doing a commercial blanket loan on all ten properties where they could consider the income approach over the market.

And unless you're willing to pay a commission to a buyer's agent - no realtor is going to direct their clients to your property.
