-------------------------One of my criteria for COMMERCIAL is has to be on a MAJOR street, with visibility, otherwise you need business that are destination and have customer come find them.having visibility means you can rent it faster b.c I get my commercial tenant from my for rent signs, never for the MLS or Loopnet or other brokers.

Had to pay a contractor $$$$ to construct a custom frame.

Once you move from junior agent to agent to assistant director etc. the split usually gets better over time.I am the principal broker with my own company so I offer a more boutique and heavily driven customer service relationship where you are not just a number among the masses for the big boys.  

The agent will have to check with their broker but, since you're a repeat customer with more deals likely to come their way, they'd be crazy not to help you out.

My name is Linval Taylor and I am a retired Telecommunications solutions engineer, after 33 years of service working with global multi-national customers of top tier service providers.Additionally, I am a licensed Realtor in New York and a real estate investor with investment properties in Atlanta, Georgia and its environs.

@Mindy Jensen My business currently sells over 400 homes a year across 8 different markets exclusivly to investors, AND my team deals with the customer service ongoing, so I have seen every nightmare imaginable.

A lot of wholesalers keep their best deals to themselves and/or give their preferred/regular customers a first look.Lastly, you need to make sure that you are very familiar with comps and the 75% ARV calculation. 

And I'm finding that a lot of these customers that I'm dealing with and talking to as they pass through my register are not only contractors but some are real estate investors and agents.

She's asking you, the customer, to financially shoulder some of the risk for her business. 

I find that getting excellent tenants and having a thorough lease are my biggest time savers, along with providing quality apartments with good customer service and (slightly) below market rent cuts down on turnover time as well as the amount of time I have to spend finding a new tenant.
