This is because marketing costs money, and that is a big part of the listing agent's job.Another major part of any real estate agent's job is making sure all contracts and documents are properly executed in a timely fashion.

@Sam Ojo  I read through the 3 years of posts so I kind of understand.. if this program is touting no money down owner finance commercial real estate.. well that's a tough one to a non starter in todays market.. sellers are not that desperate .. you can do that in areas that are dead and dying but who wants to buy that stuff.and when you can pay 10k up front and then they talk about splitting 500k.. this is simply reminds me of a very successful syndicator I worked for in the 80's he had a billion dollar portfolio then I did acquasitions for them it was a great job as I was a RE broker and got my commish when they took the building down.. no risk on my part.. work as a broker plus he paid me monthly and health insurance LOL.But that all saidhe had a phrase... : DROWN THEM IN FUTURES  "  this to me is like that take folks that have rally no experience in something that takes a ton of experience to get good at @Joel Owens give them a cheap buy in .. lead the carrot with the 500k which is more money than most of these folks have ever made or dreamed of and yes they jump in... to me just same ole same ole guru stuff.. and the Guru makes most fo the money on the 10k and monthly other wise why charge either of those if they are making 250k per student.. that would be the big money.. why because they don't do a ton of it ( maybe ) I just don't see this in todays market as being real.. or achievable for folks that don't have like Joel says significant liquidity to buy commercial and experience... you want expe3rince in commercial get a license go work for a commercial broker get paid to do your apprentice work and like many of us 10 years  into the career you start making some significant coin.if it was as easy as pay 10k and 197 a month.. there would be NO commercial property to buy you guys would own it all.And again if this is all about nothing down owner finance that ship sailed over the horizon many moons ago.my 2 cents.

When do people typically "ditch" their jobs? 

Maybe this is normal but it seemed ridiculous to expect someone to keep their job(s) and pay rentSince it seemed I was left with no option except to plan on getting prepared to pay March and get the house in good shape so my deposit would be returned and bite the bullet.

I think my plumber added $500 for an attic job, but the $900 was installed in garage.

this project was complete rebrand re market with a 300k capital investment into common areas What was the outcome?

Walker & Dunlop has a podcast that just did a pretty good job on trying to explain this.
