We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

But around here some of the screening services that claim to do background checks do a lousy job of it.

Nothing points to this better than claiming the property cash flows $1,000/m relying on rent collection and debt service/taxes/insurance while responding to my question about other operating expenses/reserves with:  "repairs will come and we will fix, but that's why we do our due diligence before we buy so we aren't walking into major repairs".  

@Krissi Miramontes Perhaps the PM services haven't been great but @Dan H. said it best.

Full disclosure: I’m an AI service provider. 

I’ve heard tenants can potentially “clawback” their payments from these services.

The mayor is investing heavily in bringing regional and national services to the city, which brings more specialized workers.

If the agent is doing the marketing, finding the potential buyers and possibly working with other agents to help you secure a deal then I would still charge 2.5% for my listing services and 2.5% to any buyer's agent. 

Hey Ethan, first off, thanks for your service!

if anything then I would set a flat fee to pay them for their service and then if you do find a property that offers buyers agents money, in which almost all I have seen still do...then I would have the title company back out the amount you decided on and the agent gets the remainder of the amount of commission that's left over.
