When you buy a property for $100 in a flat market the property can be resold for the same $100 (apply concepts of appreciation and deprecation accordingly).

New roof, new paint job, new carpet in the whole house, the main level kitchen had a stud up brand new one put in with a center island all granite and stainless steel.The driveway was nothing like the MLS pic and was flat as a pancake.

Our late fee is a flat $50 on the 3rd of the month, then $5 a day after that.

Typical issues with basements relate to gutters failing, grading being toward the structure or flat (surface water doesn't flow away from the building), grading funneling offsite water to the building, or ground water being high enough that it is against the foundation.

@Kelly Williams another thing I would consider would be to check to see if your market is appreciating rapidly or is it pretty flat.

You can probably charge a flat fee or any commission above that your broker requires for a transaction.Only your broker can tell you what you need to do, if you don't like the requirements you can look for another broker. :)

Some day you may want to get into rehabbing and having a good relationship with a few agents could pay off with lower listing fees or flat fees for all of the work you have done together over the years.It doesn't hurt you as if a deal isn't going to be a deal, find someone who can prosper off of it and it will be paid back over time.

Are there companies that will handle only maintenance either for a monthly flat fee or on an as-required basis?
