Then paid the Hard Money points using my commission and $5,000 in concessions.

They aren't W2 employees as we are commission based so, how much does the LLC provide them with protection?

The seller agrees to the price and now doesn't want to pay for the realtor commission.

We feel that it is unethical to retain the entire late fee but it is fair to apply the commission percentage (10%) to it.

When you get into larger multifamily, brokers typically do not share commission so you have to find the listing brokers and contact them directly.

Traditional financial planners make the bulk of their income from commissions on stocks and bonds, so real estate will often times get dumped into an "other" category that doesn't get the proper attention.In my experience, we did receive a lot of help from real estate agents that are able to help us with our upcoming transaction, HOWEVER, they aren't setup to support the overall plan design in a way that was centered around the most important financial kpis.  

Hi all, new here at the forum and thank you all for all the knowledge you guys share…its amazing.I am interested in this question as well as we just got back into this from like 10 years ago, few things have changed for us, and the main one is finding deals with whole sellers, sometimes the price looks good, but once we add numbers we are currently seeing that everyone else in the deal makes tons of more money than us….for instance, we have checked properties now, where we pay closing cost, interest on a portion of the borrowed money, commissions after selling the property, etc and we see 30-40k going out on all of this,  then we barely make a 20k profit or less on a property of 200k …many of the deal we found we barely get close to a 10-15% of the initial purchased price, which to me sounds like a lot of hassle and my wife says that i am getting old and too picky :)i keep saying that ideally we should shoot for 15-25% profit from the purchase price…if i get a property at 200k and the rehab is 50 and everyone else makes 30k then we should at least net out 30k as well.

Since the owner was the type of guy who believes he's always right, the agent figured why not sell it at $150K if she's going to collect a commission anyway.

The brokerage offers an appealing Flat Fee 100% commission program.
