So, if the budget goes up, the flat tax rate goes up.

I am currently looking into the Phoenix area and want to invest in some more multifamily properties.As of right now, I have three ideas on what I could do:Idea #1- Refinance my dad's property and buy an apartment complex altogether.

Flat is much better then dealing with slopes 

The main motivation to use the MLS for comps while wholesaling.Is it legal to pay a real-estate agent for this privilege, either with a percentage of wholesale profits or with a flat rate?

I am in the midst of picking up a 2 flat that I will renovate.

I'd prefer a flat fee as opposed to a percentage, the properties I am looking to buy are in the circa 300k range! 

If cap rates remain flat, then your expected rate of return will increase over your desired 10% target. 

I understand local markets will drive the ultimate decision, but it feels like every market I look:1) unemployment is through the roof in the last 4 months2) mortgage delinquency is on the rise3) rents are flat - but there have been many stories about landlords not being able to collect rent4) housing values have not dropped yet and cap rates are still at all time highs.
