The percentage increase was off the charts, but the dollar amounts - not so much. 

So I dont counter with a % I Counter with a dollar amount and the buyer see's exactly how much that is and when on my homes that are 750k and 2% is 15k I counter at 10k flat fee.. agents get it start to howl but the buyers are like whats the issue your making 10k thats great money :)  Interesting development in Oregon to increase buyer agent commission visibility.

Raleigh's current market isn’t known for many off-market deals in high-appreciating areas, as sellers here know they can still get top dollar by listing.

But, I am not willing to commit to 50 years (if I am lucky) of never harvesting material equity from my rental properties at this time so that she can inherit potentially millions or tens of millions of 2074 dollars at stepped up basis.I plan to pay the tax man and spend some of my money at some point.

Lastly and before you think I am going to sell you a training program that cost thousands of dollars.  

That could be thousands of dollars, and you might not even close, so they just wasted several grand for no reason.

In fact the developers formula that I use to come up with a max offer that was taught to me by a very successful land developer is .4x(Sellout Market Value - Development & Selling Costs) Basically, it's 40 cents on the finished dollar less costs.  

There is no Due on Sale Police, the loan is serviced by a Servicer who is paid just a few dollars per month to service the loan.

I paid thousand of dollars to do tax planning and I got two meeting so far with not tax planning, just chatting.  

Every dollar saved in utilities is a dollar straight to the bottom line.
