Many sales techniques are first born and tried within the insurance industry.Insurance sales will also be great at teaching you how to deal with all types of people.The added benefit, insurance sales will expose you to possible real estate investments or possible partners.One of my real estate investment partners' primary business was as a life insurance salesman.You will also be in charge of your time.You may find the book "Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive" a very good read.

I attended a real estate investing informational session about a month ago and they charged over $2900 to attend a 3 day workshop.

This business plan allowed a rent increase of more than double the rent charged by the former owner.I had a marketing plan that understood the lifestyle and desires of the target market.

Do you think I could charge more for rent with those add-ons?

You're in charge, not the tenant.

It's in conjunction with the government so likely .gov.Additionally it usually charges a small fee to search and certify.

I believe they charge first months rent, but market and do background checks on the potential tenants.

Find out too, what compensation the negotiator is charging, as some structure it so the buyer has to pay this fee.

He has more experience with rentals so I decided to let him take the lead but now he is wanting to charge me a 37.5% of the rent to find the tenants and 5% a month.

Margin space at the top and bottom, sides, font size = pages to be filed with many standard documents = $$$$$$$ Filing feesWhile it does standardize documents, many attorneys may have charges per page = $$$$$Need a copy of filed documents from the Recorder= $$$$$Fees to be charged are often regulated by statute at the state level and is in some places seen as a taxing issue, so they can manipulate an increase by requiring the number of pages to present a deed or assignment for example.
