Try that, then give the agent a try. 5% is pretty fair assuming what you're getting is close to a full service listing.

Thick skin sir but always be fair

There are some 3% conventional loans, but very few. 5% is fairly common, as is 10%.

Great way to decide who you want to manage all your business in the future.To be fair, tell the current company what you think their "holes" are so that they can manage your properties best while you are still with them.

Let's say it cash flows $300 per month (net of everything) which would be fairly typical. 

Most of my calculations on 2 3 and 4 unit buildings require you to have to have substantial skin in the game

I went from not knowing a thing about HOA foreclosures to understanding a fair deal of why they could or couldn't be a good deal (in addition to everyone's opinion on their ethicality...)Thank you for your input!

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that it is enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

Rent and expenses are allocated to each property fairly easily.

I'm worried that if they break their lease and leave, that leaves me with 3 offices to try to fill quickly, all of which are slightly more expensive than the going rate.I had a thought about offering to this tenant (who is interested in the 3 offices) to invite her to go in on the purchasing of the property, maybe inviting her to be a 10% owner, the thought being that if she has some skin in the game, she would be less likely to cut and run and leave me high and dry.
