I have some money saved but I know it is not enough? 

Although the time saved might be worth the extra premium...So I've been to Birmingham a couple of times because I used to cover that area at my last job, and I thought that the city was really nice.

For those who are able to save more than $30k a year or have substantial liquidity (over 200k), being a landlord and especially flipping is a lot of work.

Do you base it on the cash flow/reserves saved for the property? 

In all likelihood, your family will only "save" half the commission (~3%) as almost all properties sell with a co-broke commission.  

My wife and I can save about 120K a year. 

I have liquid money but would like to not rely on (or use) that too heavily in the case of vacancies, unforeseen repairs and things like that until I can save for those types of events.

Instead of hourly, should we set up an incentive program for him where he can make bonuses for money saved by using him opposed to subbing work out? 

Hi Jeremiah,Were you able to resolve the issue?

It won't make me rich but it may allow me to work a little less.My first question:Investing in my first property, I was planning on using some savings to put about 25% down on a condo in my area, for 100k.
