Working your SOI / PC can generate an extra $10k / year in referral fees and only working 2 hours per week!

--Question--To reduce my housing costs to $0 or cashflow positive I have come up with two potential scenarios....Scenario 1:Move into a two bedroom apartment in Manhattan and rent the extra bedroom to break even on my monthly living costs. 

Would flipping house be ideal for getting extra money?

Won’t be much extra work.  6 inches is just a shovel or two.

Most experienced agents will have a Minimum $amount commission they will work for, and sometimes the buyer agent will have an agreement the buyer will pay extra if they are only receiving a cut rate % from the listing broker, but......these need to be disclosed in writing and agreed to by you Before making an offer.Yes, this is BS if not disclosed/agreed to upfront.

I get about 300 extra from rent that i send back to the home to pay off faster (cut the loan by about 9 years.).

I just have to be a contrarian here @Caleb Heimsoth  as Caleb states I cannot think of anything risker than remote rehab for beginners.. keep in mind the author is a very experienced real estate professional and what works for him simply is not germane for beginners I know they want to sell books on this site.. but I fear there is going to be some really sad people that try to do this and simply don't know what they don't know.. all to just save 5 to 10k  extra that a flipper that does all the work and takes all the risk makes bringing you a finished product.. you can lose 10 to 20k in a heart beat doing this if not more.. 

If invested right it would also provide me with a little extra cash to roll into something new.

Even though I can understand the reasoning on getting an FHA loan and the fees and other extra costs you have to pay, 4 unit houses are just too risky for what you are possibly getting from  a Bank.A Bank might offer the lowest interest rate, it's not the only lending source you can use. 

Other options are: 1) Ignore it 2) Send them notice of extra pet deposit and fees if they want to keep second cat 3) Tell them they will be evicted for breaking the rules of the lease which states one cat?
