So most agents are only putting about half of that $12k in their pocket, and out of that $6k they have to cover all of their operating expenses: licensing fees, MLS/ Realtor Association fees, continuing education classes to stay compliant with licensing requirements, monthly "desk" fees/ technology fees to their brokerage, health insurance for themselves and their family, errors and omissions insurance (required), marketing, car, car insurance, gas, clothes, computer/ software, cell phone, closing gifts, signs, photography, staging if they offer that, etc.

Quote from @Michael Baum: Hey @Marc Shin, short answer, yes.A couple will want to wash some clothes if there are there more than a couple of days.

Things like your vacations, entertainment, toys, food, clothes, housekeeping, pets, guns etc.

I'm Renee Machat from Atlanta, passionate about real estate investing although I'm new and just started with the WREIN (women's real estate investment network) end of September.

Personally, I don't mix men and women tenants but I know some people do.

Tenants just bring themselves and their clothes. 

"Cross selling" is _________________:a) When you go to your sales job wearing clothes more typically worn by the opposite gender.b) Just like it sounds: literally selling crucifixes. c) A strategy wherein a business strives to encourage existing customers to purchase adjacent products complementary to an item that the customer has already bought in a prior transaction, or is currently on the verge of purchasing.d) All of the above.

There were wet clothes in the bathroom floor and clothes and dirty dishes and rotting food all over the place. 

Always buff in the direction of the grain with a soft cloth to prevent further damage.

It's the equivalent of the guy with the expensive car and big house acting rich vs. the actual rich guy that lives in a modest house, drives an old truck, and buys his clothes at Costco.
