Here is the source for the commission rate, right from the Sitzler NAR lawsuit judgement (bold text added):"In addition to training, Plaintiffs have presented expert testimony showing that Section 2-G-1 had the effect of stabilizing commission rates.

Please educate yourself, and not just from an internet forum. 

If you want to explore MF or any other asset class, the best course is to go to some training courses and get a coach or mentor. 

Education via trail & error is easily the #1 worst way to go about anything today UNLESS your an explorer, inventor, revolutionizing and still all of those have a whole lot of training and education backing them. 

Best bet is likely (not absolute - everyone's situation is different) is to look at a national lender or broker that has options in lots of states - its a great development versus 20 odd years ago, with technology, internet, places like this - can have access to many more options than before (local broker or lender thats it)

There maybe other training options as well but this is the main one I know of. 

Also do not take documents off the internet, get an attorney to draft documents for you and also always close with a title company. 

As I grow I will hand over the virtual management duties(90% can be done via phone, internet, and mail) to an assistant and get a broker lined up to do showings based on a fixed rate price to show a unit when needed so I am confident I can put together this structure and meet or exceed the 5% target in the future.

The course has broken website links, broken video links, and there was very little to no actual teaching going on between the student and instructor unless you would be willing to pay even more for that 1-on-1 training.
