I’m thinking either option I pick I would get it in satin finish, although the original seems to be flat finish.

This includes rental income, which is typically taxed at a flat rate of 30% unless you elect to treat the income as "effectively connected" to a U.S. trade or business, which allows for graduated tax rates and deductions. 

Note:  LLC has bought/sold $12 million over the last year with and made a profit of 650,000 (without any of the partners RE commission contributed to the profits)Going forward Partner #1 wants the RE commission to be included in the profits - less a flat fee to her.   

Most people charge a flat fee across the board to each tenant and then eat the difference.Good luck.   

I have a 3-flat and a condo.  

With the 2 and 3-flats, you're at the mercy of comps, which is pretty much pure speculation.

So now when they travel to Paducah KY for their kids traveling sports tournament, they are searching out Airbnb's instead of the Hampton Inn, in a town no one thinks of as an Airbnb hotspot.For work travel I'll stay in a hotel, but for ANY and ALL family travel, there's no way I'm giving up having a separate room for each of my kids.My mountain market revenue is flat-ish to up, but that's because I took over management from a PM and was able to do a much better job, so it's hard to get a pulse on my local market.

On a few occasions I negotiated a flat rate of $4000 because brought the buyer and just wanted them to do the paperwork.

As Don mentioned above 20% or less of equity in a market that is flat or falling is NO equity if you need to exit.

My inclination is there will be a race to the bottom on fees with flat fee and a' la carte services becoming more prominent  while larger brokerages create their own "MLS ecosystems".
