Which kind of properties perform best there (size, amenities, etc)? 

Let’s connect, and if there’s anything I can do to support you, just let me know!

If you signed a 3% buyers representation agreement and the seller is only paying 2.5% and nothing more then just ask that your agent amend the buyers representation to 2.5% so you are not on the hook for the last %I will say, some agents are VERY strict and won't budge from 3% fee which in my opinion is kind of ridiculous.If you are my client and the seller is only paying a 2.5 % fee I won't ask you for the additional 0.5%.

Then, gather evidence like recent sales of comparable properties to support your case.

What kind of rates are they offering?

What kind of property are you considering, SF, 2-4 MF, or 5+ MF?

And what kind of neighborhood are you looking for - A, B, C, D?

I like this, bet on the jockey more than the horse kind of situation.

The sellers you are dealing with in these situations don't deal with prorating Taxes, or any other kind of prorations, that is what an escrow agent does. 

Most of the time, you’re looking at prices in the $150k+ range to get that kind of rent.Additionally, the economies of scale really do come into play when it comes to comparing single family vs. multifamily properties.
