If your seller is not represented by an agent then he may be willing to pay your agent a small percentage to handle the transaction as a transaction broker- or, you could split a fee between you.

I'm looking for someone who will fund based on a percentage of ARV including rehab costs or maybe a partner, with cash, to go in with me 50/50.  

I'm new to Bigger Pockets and just going to jump in.My question is; If you pay a mortgage on a property, how much (as a percentage) of a return on your money (monthly payment in this case) do you expect to consider it a good investment?

What does $20k represent as a percentage below FMV?  

I am considering pulling the money from my 401k that I currently have saved, invest it elsewhere for the next year or so, and then re-direct the percentage of my income that I was putting into retirement towards saving for a down payment for a rental property.In the future, I am interested in possibly flipping houses, but I'd like to wait until I have a few of cash flowing rental properties first.Has anyone else on here taken out their 401k savings to invest primarily in real estate?

2) how difficult would it be to refinance these properties under a 30 year term.3) typically, what percentage of the appraised value will I be able to take out of the refinance to pay off the private investors?

Percentage....flat fee...?

The property is currently fully rented with long term tenants and leases in place.The building has been well maintained, but what is your recommended maintenance percentage?

I'd like to add to my list...a city with a diverse job base with a large percentage of jobs in services, particularly technology.

I can get higher percentages than these on the returns on some of my other investments, so I invest my money rather than make extra payments on the loans.
