I have only been an agent for a few months now and my main focus is on Multi-Family properties (only agent in the office in Multi-Family).

I had planned to return the $600 I had collected thus far and contacted the GF since $400 she had supplied.

I do have supplies, etc that I will include in the bill.Your statement that I cannot charge for the labor that I personally put into the make ready process concerns me.

If you are doing buy and hold, form an LLC with your credit partner as your chief financial officer, and you have a much greater capacity to purchase on credit without over extending.

I sent an email, as that's been the most effective way to communicate with him in the past.When I hadn't heard anything for a week, I called his office to confirm he received my email. his paralegal said he did get it and was working on the file.

There are many, many strategies you can employ including some where you are not a deed holder, but simply using your funding to supply an experienced investor with capital for a short period of time.

Thanks Bill Gulley for adding the standard leases available at office supply stores.
