Large houses are a recent change, and they are willing to offer over asking to beat out other buyers.

I do this because sellers are going to offer 3% (they are in my market), and if I signed for less, I could not get the overage.To secure my buyers in this new environment, I made a 27-minute video going through the whole agreement and pointing out the things to beware of.

This way, you stay disciplined about your future while making space for present enjoyment.You can also adopt a mindset shift by focusing on experiences over material things, as experiences tend to offer lasting satisfaction without derailing your financial goals.

., but we thought initially it would be best to offer a cash down amount($20,000) and then offer a percentage of revenue over a three year time frame. (50% of management fees collected: yr1, 30%: yr2, 20%: yr3) until the balance of the "acquisition" price was met.Again I know I've left out a lot of info but this was just to hear some ideas or previous experiences.Some generals:Approx. 100 doorsMost are 2yr leasesMost are long term clients of the current companyAverage rent of $2300Thanks in advance and have a great weekend! 

Our final 2 were appfolio aor rentvine, we went with rentvine because it was 2.50 a unit and that was everything they have to offer, appfolio would give you some for 1.49 a unit then a little more for 3.50 a unit then the whole enchilada for 5.00 a unit.

My idea is to offer the $600k, I pay current owner $2500/month for 5 years and buy out the rest at the 5 year mark. 

Therefore, they might go for the agent who is willing to offer the lowest fee or go directly with the listing agent.For our deals, we will still be offering at least 2% to the buyer's agent because we would rather have a large pool of realtors bringing their clients. 

I look for opportunities to offer MORE for a tenant but I look for low hanging fruit in this regard.

Any suggestions on what is a fair amount to offer for the monthly interest payments and the balloon payment?

After number crunching, we want to offer terms that work for 20% down + rehab estimation.. that puts the offer at around $525K.
