You can even sweeten the pot by telling them they don't have to clean, and you will hand them their deposit on the day of move-out after a 10-minute inspection to verify there are no damages. 

At the end of the day, all agent commissions (and all other fees for that matter) get taken out of the deal pot, so while it may appear one side is "paying for it", the buyer could get a lower price and the seller could get a higher price, without it.You think you have a deal struck, but in reality you are net at $175k and the seller is at $180k.

At that point they will use 100% of what the net is minus your monthly mortgage including taxes and insurance. 

How much you net is going to depend on how much you put down (and the quality of the rental). 

You may just be tired of watching the pot boil.

These are often tenants who (excuse my english) don't have a pot to piss in.This is the first time I've heard an tenant claim to be a lawyer (before he lost his license).Ignore the threats on this clown. 

Will they add anything else to the pot? 

Nice pot at the end of that particular rainbow.  

Michael, thanks for the Coffee Pot tip - I bought two of them!   

You also talk about Woodford Reserve, the grounds are beautiful and the brass pot stills are amazing.
