Also, some places like CA and MD have very tenant "friendly" laws (against the landlord in some cases) so make sure that you know the laws and if possible, have an attorney or service to collect overdue rent and/or eviction as needed. 

To answer the title of your post, selling fsbo can be a good idea if:- you have experience selling RE- you price the home to sell- you have systems in place to collect inquiries and facilitate showings i.e. call center/email/google forms for screening inquiries, showing agent, lockbox, security alarm, etc. - you have dozens of local agents who can market the property for you and bring you a buyer- you are listing in a desirable area with low-inventory - you are not in a rush to sell

If there is no agreement signed and this person is just someone listed from the broker's database, I do not believe it is acceptable for the broker to collect a split in addition to the house split.If you are to consider negotiating this additional split, there is a lot to take into account here... what is the % of business that you generate on your own vs. how much your broker contributes?

Collection is on time, they address repairs promptly, leases get renewed and increased based on market research.

It’s also important to remember that allowing partial payments without a plan can set a bad precedent, so it’s best to handle this firmly but professionally.For the future, collecting the first month’s rent in full before move-in can help avoid situations like this.

In the end my buddy and I nearly broke even after we included the monthly payments that we collected.

I'm basically here to make connections and collect information.
