With Real if I brought in a direct agent, I'd get some revenue share only for their first year of production, then it disappears. 

She's averaging me an additional 2 closings per month since she started.

From experience I noticed that a lot of people may not be interested in an item/product/service at a time but are willing to entertain a conversation as long as you are upfront.

Good due diligence required but there are opportunities.Most of our clients will sell their property and then select from a range of existing product. 

Hi All, here's a potential deal I would love some opinions on considering a fundamental decision must be made for it to be viable.Triplex currently listed at $127kDown Payment: $31,750Gross Monthly Rent: $1,500 (500 each)Estimated Expenses:Mortgage: $500Property Tax: $80Property Management: (10%) $150Water + Trash: $150Repairs (5%) $75Capital Expense (10%) $150Vacancy (5%) $75Total: $1,180 MonthlyCash on Cash return: $3,840 (About 12% return on investment)Property was built in the 1930's and states "could be rented for higher with work/repairs" Average comp rents seem to be around $600-700If I could rent each unit for $600, updated ROI could be up to around 20%... 

., according to Zillow.Another research firm, SmartAsset, recently figured the average monthly rent payment in Memphis to be $769.While more than half of Memphians now rent housing, that figure is still well below the more than 60 percent who rent in Miami, New York, Los Angeles and in the San Francisco Bay area.Of the top 50 metros, 29 were comprised of majority renters (more than 50 percent) in 2016, up from 16 cities in 2006."

Ideally there's a balance between the notion of Right First Time and Minimum Viable Product that should be struck whereby one acquires enough knowledge to act and then uses action to adapt and evolve.

The metro area as a whole however has gone up 7.4%, but that is a mix of neighborhoods that have done very well and not at all, the average comes down to 7.4%.$1000 rent for a 85k home seems very low though.

Lowering an effective annual return because you don’t want me (as an investor) to “get used to” an above-average return treats me as though I’m an petulant child and that I’m too foolish to see that it’s for the benefit of the GP’s tax rate.

I have been attending the INREIA which is more information driven than pitching products and services.
