The average agent makes somewhere around 35K a year and that is pure feast or famine which is why most agents get in the biz and leave before their first license renewal.

Purely based on the #s this looks like a good deal. 

If you are buying a pure investment property/flip (i.e. you aren't going to live in it) you will need to put down much more up front (25% usually).

But they are in breach of contract pure and simple.

Regarding the deck being stacked against the middle class this is a pure and utter nonsense.

Based purely on this, I'm inclined to buy out the ground rent owner just to simplify our lives. 

I don't believe a pure fee, arranged outside of a transaction, would be prohibited, if you're just marketing and giving somebody a "heads-up."

@Tony Silvas I think part of the problem is that you are looking at this purely from a financial point of view and not the emotional part.

However, many of the buy and hold deals I'm seeing investors do this year look like pure speculation to me, where there the deal is nothing more than a bet on the continued upward trajectory of the Austin market.
