I just charged a flat fee and they got a discount on title and escrow services I found this to be quick and painless ,, and whats more Safe for me.. except if they never bought it back I end up owning some home in GA I never wanted in the first place..

Find a qualified agent willing to work only on a flat fee to write up the contract and other legal requirements.

On one of my new home developments here in Oregon I paid a construction Risk manager a flat fee of 15k.. to over see the underground process..

Alex, I could see lower end and rental properties stay flat or even go lower in the short term until rents find some balance.

It's only natural to pass these costs on to the consumerSome costs used to be hidden from the borrowers and baked into the interest you pay.

I’d be disappointed at flat rents, I can’t imagine a 15+% rent crash.

You may pay a bit more and make a little less, but playing the long term game is key in real estate.The types of structures could be lump sum (one price) or cost plus (meaning you pay the cost of material and labor plus a flat fee—more of an open-book model).I see some investors who want to pay for ALL the materials, which is excellent for the investor (more control of finishes & cost) and general contractor (if they are getting paid well).  

My insurance company stated they will not be renewing my property insurance policy due to my flat roof.

These are sometimes referred to as in-law units or granny flats and they are not new to the commonwealth but a favorable ADU policy has the potential to add over 10,000 units and offer homeowners a potential source of income.As a lifelong house hacker, my wife and I immediately recognized the potential of this 2-story garage in the back of the property.

I took your advice to mean they are only getting paid on their fees, not the rate charged.Lenders make their fee 1 of 2 ways typically.Lender paid compensation= the lender/broker fee is baked into the interest rate (most transactions are done this way but it makes it difficult to understand the actual base rate of the lender because they may charge more or less than other lenders so the comparison is not apples to apples).Borrower paid compensation = the comp is paid directly by the borrower as a line item in Section A.
