We do not represent them.And I can tell you, in almost every case we have an unrepresented buyer on my listing....I make more, the seller makes more....and the buyer is probably paying more than they would need to, and waiving things, or agreeing to contract terms that they have zero idea what they mean or is customary.As an example, almost every unrepresented buyer on my listings ends up paying 100% of the transfer and recordation taxes, when customarily those are split 50%/50% between buyer and seller.

Income thresholds: There are income thresholds that determine whether you pay standard or higher premiums.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

@Michael EdwardsI would ask them for a contract but if this is one of those deals where they pay off the mortgage for equity in the property understand your portion of the equity will be very minor.

It pays well and allows you to build connections in the real estate world (if you are working privately and not for the government). 

@David SwitzerThe ADA Guidelines do allow a steeper slope than 1:12 if the site conditions of an existing building can meet the criteria.

I have not gotten it appraised but pay taxes for $1.5M.

What’s a good rule of thumb to follow when starting a business or owning multiple properties for how much you should set cash aside to go towards the mortgage, expenses, emergencies and paying yourself?

Also there is a management fee to pay for all of the above.

Is there a general rule of thumb for what to expect to pay in fees/taxes when selling a property?
