What I a mean by site lines is if I am driving down the road if a property is flat I can see the whole building easily from my car or if the building is slightly elevated.

What your describing is not really a JV - It is more of a advanced wholesaler and I see it as a flat fee payment - not a long term partner.Unless you have a solid track record of 100+ deals I just dont see the services you mentioned valuable enough for me to give up equity.

The street is flat.

Having grown up in my family's 3-unit flat in SF, I feel these are some of the best investments.As mentioned, my goal is to net $2,500/month and be able to work part-time in real estate so I can quit my 2 jobs.

Instead of quitting flat out, find some other job that you're passionate about, work there until you have enough experience flipping/wholesaling/etc...

if it is valued at the 4-5k as you say, according to the provided info, i would offer the 4k. no reason to pay more than it is worth. i think he is playing jabs with you. with the flat info provided, i would take this as a learning experience and move to the next deal. just sounds very fishy to me.

If they see the house in real and they like it ..they want to place an offer on it …..the listing might be a discounted $350 flat rate with 1% payable to selling agent.

., which I flat out rejected....and then later after they didn't get anywhere with that was trying to convince me that I should accept the paperwork she sent me instead of the two years tax returns I ask for those self-employed (and incidentally she couldn't even show proof of enough income with what she did send), and even though I said this request was our written procedure, she accused me of discrimination.

On my commercial notes the reup fee is a flat $500.

My brother works for State Farm and he says they pay a flat rate and with State Farm the agent is almost like an employee of the company.
