I'm sure you can find someone willing to do it at a reduced cost without marketing, etc but do keep in mind that they will be taking on some liability and should be compensated for that risk.

However, when someone does something unscrupulous there's no recourse for the broker without some type of agreement in place.I'm not sure exactly what form you were presented with, but the standard CAR form that will protect both the buyer and the broker is the BRBC (Buyer Representation and Broker Compensation) agreement.

That higher cash flow is the compensation you get for taking on more risk.Theres nothing wrong with high risk or low risk.

I'd be happy to compensate you for your time. ty!

If you are going to be the person controlling the deal (managing it, making decisions, etc), you should be compensated for doing so.

Many laundromat owners don’t “pay themselves” so make sure to check to see if the financials include owner compensation.

Require additional compensation if they want to extend.

Are you compensated for being without a functional fridge for three days?

-I would have very little collateral, no say and no compensation for 72 months. 

You may get cash flow(you are being compensated for your risk).
