That's like rewarding failure.I read another thread where I see that 7-10% is still the norm and 12% is for labor intensive properties.Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

While, I think as discussed in other threads that to buy or not to buy turn-key depends on a host of variables such as your goals, risk / reward desires, level of available inventory in market, individual challenges of that market, whether you can replicate what the turn-key can provide at a similar cost, etc we also have to make sure we are normalizing things.Yes, you can absolutely buy in the same neighborhoods for $40,000.

And of course, volunteering for a good cause is reward in itself; the photo op and potential for getting a lead are just added bonuses.Who else has come across outside-the-box ways to market your services?

As far as a fee...from the buyers perspective assuming your numbers are actually real:840,000 gross sales84,000 10% costs of sales/closing30,000 holding costs10,000 initial closing and condo doc completion/implementation$124k costsNet Proceeds after sales-- $716,000Net proceeds less acquisition price: $67,000After $20,000 fee to you; $47,000 maybe, best caseThe risk/reward doesn't seem that attractive.

Just ran across it and have been well-rewarded with tons of useful information.

I think SmartFax is one of the cheaper ones at $6.95 but there are numerous options around $10/month

It's about risk v reward and your own long term goals.

I've read numerous books, spoke with a variety of both local and more distant investors as well as real estate agents and brokers about the tips and experience they could offer me and of course I will still continue to diligently increase my education in real estate investing.

Going through with it is going to be terrifying and rewarding at the same time.
