There is a spreadsheet in the files section by @ sam tato that you plug in the costs associated with the property you are looking to buy and it will calculate the capex.

If the new agent makes a sale that earns the brokerage $3,000, you could pay 25% of The brokerage split to the referring agent ($750).what you don't want to do is pay the referring agent just for putting butts in the seat.

Set yourself up for success with appropriate systems, and when a hole is discovered, plug it!

A couple people did suggest selling but others suggested I get off my butt, make a new plan and learn to make the place more competitive in the changing market. 

That being said, commercial real estate can get a lot more complicated than simply plugging numbers in on a spreadsheet.

I’m using the BP calculator and there are so many numbers to plug in that I don’t know.

A person with one property should be kissing butt and willing to pay more than everyone else in order to get the attention of a worker who frankly doesn’t need you.

This is a great idea; the minimal monthly increase in rent starts to build up and most tenants will take an action of some kind to make sure that they're not paying more money out of pocket (kind of acts as a swift kick in the butt to take some type of action on their part). 

It cost us a bit more but in the long run I think it saved our butts!
