Oppurtunity to build long term wealth and residual income for retirement How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Russell Brazil The key point is the residual income you could make as a real estate agent from the long term relationship you would have with an investor Not all brokers work a NY, LA, SF, SD or Miami market so if they don't like the small commissions they should move to a more expensive higher end homes area!

Flips offer quicker money, but no residual income - and take more money to pull off (you have to have funds to not only buy the property, but also repair it), and then wait for it to sell.  

Also consider the resale value.The cost to TSP the walls and all surfaces remediating the oil residue is expensive as is replacing carpet and furnishings.

As others have said, if you didn't put any of this in writing, then you don't owe her anything.Unless you guys led her to believe she would be getting residual bonuses for every job you ever do for this client, it is absolutely inappropriate and crazy for her to expect you to be paying her out of follow up jobs.

Or not cleaning my stove top for weeks and getting seemingly permanent residue stuck to it...
