Hi guysSo I am a new sales associate (agent) in Florida, and I have an issue I would like to solve in the best way.I aim is to cover few different areas in Florida (I am working with foreign investors)The areas would be : Miami, Sarasota, Jacksonville, Tampa, Ocala.I am interested to be working with one of the "100% Commision - Flat fee" Brokers (such as: Charles Rutenberg)My issue is: As I understood, each Broker works with a different board\association, which does not allow him\me to connect to all listed above MLS's.I also understood that there's something refer to a "primary board".Can someone please clarify, what steps should I make in order to get connected to all of these MLS's?

The trick is to lay them out flat on a non flammable surface (like concrete) until they’re fully dry.

If you would like to market your rentals on your own in the future and don't want to exclude "agents" or Realtors, you can always add to your advertisements "Agent/Broker protected" in which case you can pay half the listing rate which where I am is typically 30% of first month rent or a flat rate that is comparable.

I'm looking to build a single family home (or put up a mobile home) on a flat .34 acre residential lot in PA.Some background:There used to be a house on the lot, built in the 1960s, that suffered settling issues due to being built on uncompacted fill.

I live in Chicago and I recently just purchase a 3 Flat this past summer. 

I agree that there may be future arguments over a flat split of the heating oil costs.The payback on your investment is a little over a year if you can get the tenants to swallow the extra costs of the oil.

I've always been told 10% of the rent, but I recently heard about flat rates per unit that are much less than 10% of the rent and I'm wondering if other investors have come across this?

I live in Chicago in my owner occupied 3 flat, and am looking to move/invest in the Vegas area. 

I don't want to have a wobbly knee patient fall and sue me just as much as I don't want to have a homebound person with a failed surgery recovery to take care of.I do have to think about the utilities here too since it's a "bills paid flat rate room" if someone will be home 24/7 for weeks, since now I leave the heating off 10+ hours a day since no one's home during the business day now.

The showed the president of one of the biggest local brokerages talking about how homes are typically receiving multiple offers, which is true... but they completely left out the part where he said “God bless ’em, but I think that’s aggressive,” and then went on to say that he thinks sales volumes will be flat and that he believes appreciation will be close to 5% instead of over 7%.
