You can negotiate a flat fee, or percentage of their profit of any deal. 

@Ashly FrassoRenting by the room can be a profitable but complex model.

Most lenders I work with would lend you 70%-75% of the value of the property, but only so much that your NOI/profit is 20%-25% of the monthly loan payment.

I own 9 rentals in SC spread across Columbia, Chapin, and Newberry that are solidly profitable. 

. - Property type (single-family homes, duplexes, or small multifamily)- Min/max square footage or number of bedrooms and bathrooms- Desired cash flow or ROI metrics to ensure profitability- Property Condition (turnkey, light cosmetic fixes, or heavy rehab)- Neighborhood type (A/B-class areas for appreciation vs.

Investing in single-family residence fix-and-flip projects in New York involves purchasing distressed or undervalued single-family homes, renovating them, and selling them at a profit.

The investor who bought this home owns an asset that is cash flow positive from day one and one that will benefit from all 5 profit centers of rental property investing for many years to come.

So now we cover utilities for both units and the new tenant pays a higher amount too on the back unit to cover all the utilities with a great profit.  

I could have gotten to profitability in a fraction of the time without those unnecessary expenses. 

Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?
