Again, I'm not representing the BP community, just my view.Peace indeed.

My areas of expertise nationally is transacting deals for retail triple net leasing, strip centers, etc. and then larger apartment buildings.I also represent clients with considerable funds as well.

I've been representing a client the last few months on a property that we've been trying to negotiate a short sale on with a mortgage servicing company.

@John Marion for example, on 10 year lease, I'd want to pay tenant's broker their commission as the monthly rent comes in from the tenant they're representing.

It covers loss of rent at fair market, wind and hail, and just about anything I could think of.I was talking with a representative from Amica and they quoted me a fire policy that covered me for the same rebuild amount, but without all of the extra coverage’s.

Put those numbers up here and I'll tell you what I would pay for the place.TaxesSewer and WaterTrashHeat/UtilitiesHOACap Ex and OpsInsuranceMgmt Fee - as a % (general consensus here on BP is 10%. include it even if you think you are going to self manage)Vacancy- as a %. (8% represents 1 vacant month/unit/year)

Depending on how you screen for tenants as well as screen for owners you represent can reduce the amount of problems but they will always be there.  

I am not representing the seller's interest.

My question is, he doesn't have a realtor but I can get one to represent me.

Are you the owner of the building and an agent or are you representing the landlord in a PM leasing capacity?
