I found the Phil Pustejovsky Freedom Mentor program which seems unique but I am reading a lot of interesting feedback.  

What happens if I call another realtor in the area to run comps for me and do some research is there now a 9% commission on the table?  

Not to mention that many new materials/products require special tools, can impact R-values, require new engineering tables, etc. 

Is there something unique about title insurance?

Tenant in common (all the buyers names on the title) does carry some unique liability risk.  

So, say it needs $20K in work, and assuming it is truly worth $250K (though I wouldn't simply trust an appraisal), then a good deal is 0.7 * $250K - $20K = $175K - $20K = $155K.It may be deal deal even at 80% ARV minus repairs to some people.If you can't bring any money to the table, then you'll likely need to try to partner with a wholesaler and get it as low as 65% ARV minus repairs in order to get a wholesale fee out of it.

The only time I brought money to the table was when the title company had me wire the closing funds the day before I closed.I'm on my third purchase in Ohio and the first two were handled by an attorney who owned the title company.

Is there a general table to stick to when considering the cash flow?

NOI and x% rule are nice but they are all approximations to test your assumptions but in the end, your requirements and what you bring to the table are different than everyone else.Figure out what you want for an annual vacancy rate... say 5%. then compute your income.
