I am looking for a 4-plex in the area and I have a difficult time finding good deals.

It gives those of us with the gumption and resources to offer a real gameroom a bad name.  

That's why it's in the Real Estate Agent forum (where it's just dust bunnies and air most of the time) and not in the General Real Estate Investing forum.

If so, how do you track how many times you’ve reached out to the same property over the years?

I may be coming back here asking for other recommendations.This post is mainly to see if there is someone who is familiar with the real estate conditions in Wayne County who will share their thoughts with me. 

I would offer 90% of the market value. if he sells it you with no agents he is saving 6%~ on real estate agent commission and the other 4% is a convenience fee in that he dos not have to endure showings etc. and you will get better pricing on a non-owner occupied property if you put down 25% is compared to 20%.  

During the pandemic, I was living in NYC paying $2000/ rent, and decided it was time to follow in my parent's footsteps and start to build some serious wealth rather than paying someone else's mortgage.

Here is what one of my 4 AIs say:The commission structure detailed in the image for a real estate transaction involving a property valued between $30M and $40M is as follows:Under $34,000,000: 1% (0.50% per side)$34,000,000 - $34,999,999: $400,000 ($200,000 per side)$35,000,000 and above: $500,000 ($250,000 per side)To evaluate whether these commissions are fair for a 112-unit apartment complex valued between $30M and $40M, let's compare them to typical real estate commission rates for large commercial properties:Typical Commission Rates:For commercial real estate transactions, commissions generally range from 1% to 3% for properties valued above $10M.

Good evening, I am currently serving over seas in the Marine Corps but I have always had an interest in real-estate.

If they’re doing it for dirt cheap and gave great service, I’m a lot more likely to give them a “bonus” than if they charged me full rate and took a long time to get to the worksite.I don’t think there’s a hard and fast rule on anything, but if you want them to treat you well, you need to treat them well (pay when asked, provide meals for him/her and their crew, be flexible when you can, pay extra, etc.).
