Need more info, But personally 40k is a really high assignment fee, and I think is being a little greedy.

Joe's life pretty well went to hell in a handbag (or Trader Joe's bag).

it's just an avenue for more discussions (no, you can get more than this, you are being too greedy, what's your spread, etc, etc).this is what i did on the last one - looked at the house, pointed out things that needed to be done, then gave them a number. they asked why so low, i told them that i had over 30k worth of repairs (MAJOR) that needed to be done.so, bottom line - dont talk to much about the final result. tell them the obvious, tell them how much they will SAVE by not going with a realtor, the fact that they dont even have to paint, add trim, etc. tell them things that will BENEFIT THEM, not you. put yourself in their shoes (role play at home with a family member). what do YOU want to hear if you were a homeowner and someone came to your house?

Americans can do all that other countries can do but because of our rules created by the wealthy and privilaged and greedy we as non 1%ers are handcuffed.

Don't get greedy!

The same applies to greedy people.  

Additional cost for my property insurancec. having to re-due the contract to include her partner and the approval for commercial use.d. not to be greedy, but I may have to increase the rent for the risk increase2.

The key is not to get too greedy.

Probably greedy ones who may know more than you do.

Be fearful when others are greedy.
