I personally became a Real Estate agent to make some money as fast as I can, as a agent we usually make 3% commission on each deal we close, I closed 3 my first 2 months worth $208,000 then one for $250,000 and my most recent for $345,000.

Say it goes like this:"Costs to Acquire - $45K "Costs to Fix - $20K"Costs to Sell for $100K - agents commission, closing coasts, holding costs = $10K-------------------"$75,000"Net $25,000"You get your $65,000 costs back plus 50% of gross profit $25,000 or plus $12,500."

My broker charges a flat $295 fee as a buyer....commissions are typically paid by the seller...Inspection Costs - Typically, $400 or so, but call an inspectorAppraisal Costs - Probably $500 to $750, but you may not need an appraisal if you are paying cash.Title Search & Title Insurance Fees - $500 to $750...ask your broker or Title Company what fees they charge.Loan Origination, Closing Costs, Points & Fees - Ask your lenderMiscellaneous Fees - It always seems like there's a few hundred bucks worth of miscellaneous recording fees, etc...Holding Costs- Costs associated with holding the property during the rehab & listing period.Total Holding Costs = Holding Period (# of Months) * Holding Costs per MonthMonthly Holding CostsLoan Payments - Ask your lenderProperty Taxes -Can typically be found online at the on the county assessor websiteUtilities - Depends on the size of the house, but $250 might cover itInsurance - $100 to $150/month depending on the size of the houseHOA DuesMaintenance - Lawn mowing, snow removal...Selling Costs - Costs associated with selling the property.Sales commissions - commissions paid to broker for selling the property...typically 6%Seller assisted closing costs - Buyers will typically request the seller to pay a certain % or amount of the buyers closing costsBrokerage Fees - Same as buying cost brokerage feeHome Warranties - A buyer may request a Home Warranty...$500Title Search Fee - $2502nd Appraisals - I've had to pay for a 2nd Appraisal out of pocket because the property was bought and resold within 1 year...$500-$750Government Recording Fees -$100 or lessMiscellaneous - Ask your broker or Title company for a Good Faith Estimate or Preliminary HUD-1 for rough idea of costs

I have used discount listing agents but offer full commission to buyers agent.

With the numbers you provided above, agents can buy and flip it themselves and make $50k instead of selling it and make a pathetic 2.5%-3% commission.

The only benefit is the agent may try to sway the seller to you if there are multiple offers since they will make the full commission on the deal.

If you have to use the office where the agent is located; is there a 6% commission instead of 3% (split 3% to broker & 3% to agent)?

Perhaps you negotiate some future commissions for getting the park filled up.

The agent gets paid acquisition/listing commission and a fee for managing the project from A to Z.

I would coach them and follow up with them on their success of converting these leads, and we would split the commission.
