They typically keep the entire amount.In our experience, many PMCs do NOT put rentals on their local MLS and so only charge 50% of one-month of rent - but they do NOT tell the owner this.2 years ago, when rentals (and sales) were happening in less than a week, this strategy may have worked, but with rental Days On Market increasing nationwide by 38% since 2022, it's becoming more important to list rentals on the MLS to increase exposure via getting agents involved.How's a PMC, only charging an owner a Placement Fee of 50% of a month's rent or less, going to compensate an agent that brings them an acceptable tenant AND cover the PMC's marketing costs?

I've looked into house hacking and then moving out in 2 years but that option isn't changing anything. if someone wants to walk me through using the BP calculator and possible show where I'm over compensation on expenses.

@Gary Lucido@Marcus Auerbach  very thought provoking posts.. as a broker for 44 e Hm years LOL.I have seen many variations of compensation.. i have owned 3 brokerages personally.. 

Obviously, if the buyer bails, I want to be the one that get's compensated rather than the seller.  

High interest rates shift that money from the seller to the bank, so the purchase price needs to go down to compensate.

Luckily, my mom qualified for the Landlord Compensation fund. 

They tried to compensate for this by providing me with an extra list to call which I appreciated but even that proved to bring barely any more lead flow. 

For any of you medium to high volume flippers, I'm curious as to how you compensate your Project Managers.

I can easily find deals. I have over 40 years of land development experience as an engineer so I can assess property pretty quickly.Anyway, someone came to me with a couple of off-market properties. They were too big ...

For those of you that have properties with private pools, how do you compensate for the increased electric bill from heating the pool, or do you just absorb the cost?
