(really, we each pay 50% of this property management fee b/c we both get 50% of expense and income.)To specifically address your question regarding attributing specific 12% to this, 36% to that, I wouldn't even try.

Why, because that means if I offer a very nice house, doesn't have to be fancy, I stand out above all the other Landlords.

They attributed it to several factors, including landlords just wanting to get units filled and to newbie investors getting stuck with properties that expected to sell.

But the LLC is buying  so gain should be attributed to you in the partnership return.

I can attribute a lot of the knowledge and confidence I've gained since then to the forums, podcasts, and members on BiggerPockets.

All you said were monthly payments attributed to each contract, and referred to them as "lease payments". 

Shouldn't every landlord strive to have a stand out feature in every home even if it's not always a slam dunk return on investment in and of itself? 

It also doesn't hurt to ask if there is anything the agent is looking for within an offer that might make yours standout more? 

This part is important, so I'll say it again: when JPOW looks at the latest inflation numbers, he's not attributing it to the latest rate hikes, he's attributing it to 3 or 4 rate hikes ago. - JPOW says that the historical record spells out that the consequences of backing off too early are greater than the consequences of continuing with the rate hikes a little too long.

Portion of that rent is to be attributed to normal wear and tear.
