Some split 80/20, 90/10, etc.This arrangement is sort of all over the board, so when in doubt, just table the issue with your agent, assuming your business relationship is mutual and you prefer it to continue long into the future, and thoroughly discuss it openly.How much is closing each of those two properties worth to me as an independent agent (just me, no employing/managing broker to get in the way)? 

You don't need boots on the ground for this, just a daily commitment to progress.After you have some good leads, arrange in-person meetings with your top 3-5 relationships to see properties and move the relationships forward.

Here are the questions that appear most often on BP (just based on my observation - I did not do an actual count nor did a statistical analysis, and they're not arranged in any order):1.

We do have an agreement that details this arrangement where of course after closing (we split closing costs), all monies spent go back to the partner who spent and the remainder of the profit are split in half. 

I did; However, arrange my classes as efficiently as possible.

If the bankruptcy was dismissed because you didn't follow through on the arrangements you made with the Court that could be a problem. 

Obviously flat fee or other arrangements could work, but you see my point.My experience with Financial Advisers is that they are mostly trying to sell insurance.

If you decide to go this route I think you may want to consider going to a whole bunch of meet ups and finding a few flippers who seem to do good quality work and work with them in a private lending arrangement.

Then YOU hire a licensed, insured, professional contractor to make the improvements so your tenant is safe.I suspect the tenant is renting below market which is why he's willing to put up with a substandard living arrangement.

If Resident does not maintain property to these standards, Property Manager will arrange a contractor to tend to the grounds and Resident(s) will be held responsible for the costs.
