Its listed at near 150k, but I think I could get that down to mid-$130k given that the property has been on the market for a while and has gone through a few price reductions.

But, tax reduction will be the icing on the cake of 1) doing something business wise that is enjoyable.

I know this b/c I am below the market rental amount (I’ve done my homework), have done a price reduction already and prospective tenants all know the price before they look at the house.

Rent reduction for quality tenants is not something that would be expected in our market.

It's 3.5% cost of the total rent transaction, or as @Scott Weaner was indicating, it is 14% reduction of net profit if you accept a $1000 payment by credit card.  

I would talk with a tax professional to look into other tax reduction strategies that work for house flipping. 

It's funny because the only people who ever argue with me about the commission reduction not being tangible are real estate agents because they have a vested interested in the outcome. 

FOLKS Demand that that thread includes @J Scott's explanation of how $1, 000 financed on a $1, 000, 000 property  @ 15% results in a $50, 000 reduction of NOI!!!!   

We see a lot more price reductions now on MLS - sellers have been over confident and pushing it too far.In every market you have what I call seasoned buyers: they have been looking for a while maybe made an offer or two.

(Cheap fix for squeeks when the floors already removed )You can then add another layer of subfloor with plywood or OSB.Another option is special underlayment made specifically for sound reduction on laminate/wood/vinyl floors.
