You also want to be careful not to devalue your services by offering something generally reserved for discounted Brokers., if, I'm assuming, you are a full service Realtor (i.e., there are plenty of options for FSBOs to pay to list in MLS).   

Not only do they kill your income they also devalue your property when it comes to selling. 

It's tough because music in general has become so devalued and disposable nowadays. 

An organized MLS would devalue the properties so they don't do it.

Here in the DC area panels generally devalue a property.

My business policy is to not devalue my investments by supplementing tenants rent through charging under market.

Prices are a little high right now, but maybe buy a fixer, thats you can get slightly devalued.

Account ClosedPlease help me understand...In your post you said "I am stockpiling cash, and paying down debts, to buy land at auctions" Your comment to me was "if you've got equity, use it before it's gone"I have 3 properties and am totally debt free.cost of all properties is 214K  ARV is 297KCash flow 28,200 per yr before taxes and ins.If I leverage those properties to buy more at higher valuations, am I not risking more devaluation if the market drops?

I like to invest Downtown because the type of tenant you can draw, the property taxes are lower, and its more stable because the land has been devalued for 20+ years.

I cannot in good faith accept a flat commission as that would devalue effort I will be bringing to each deal.
