Cutting corners or under-estimating expenses on a crappy investment just to make it look good still results in a crappy investment... you just end up paying more for it.Now, on to your personal calculations - I see one error (and it's a small error that leads to large differences).

I got a query from a new company called REX, a startup that says it only charges a 2 percent total commission fee because it cuts out the middle man by using artificial intelligence and other high tech to identify and market to the type of buyers interested in my property.

Hi @Fred SenaYou won't get a cut and dry answer to this question, but hopefully my response can provide you some insight as to why.

In regards to your next flip, I bet you will have no issues cutting the flip time in half now that you've worked out the kinks in your planning, timing, budgeting, etc.

An S-corp is generally not advised as a type of entity for holding title to properties but does have some benefits especially if you are going to be employed since it can cut down on self-employment taxes.

Based on my current experience with this compared to #1 and #2.There is an advantage to cutting your teeth on something easier up front...that being said I think you can buy bigger and do a Great Job focusing on inspections to cover your back side, and get best of both worlds.

The funds will be deducted from what you pay and the closing attorney will  cut the checks to all vendors/lean holders/ ect. with the balance going to seller

Either pay them a flat fee for each estimate, or partner with them on deals and cut them in once you sell it.
