I was instructed that the buyer's 15% profit ($64,650) lies in the 30% that was deducted (the $129,300), and that the remaining 15% goes to holding (6%), realtor commission (6%), and closing (3%).  

An owner can give listing instructions as well as authority to accept and reject offers.

Good question -- I'm in the same boat and will be going to an REIA meeting on Tuesday.I have business cards for my fitness instruction business that I will bring along.My big question is --- do people dress up?

I suggested you not use all caps because it's considered rude and I added "please" on the end, followed by very specific instructions to answer your question.If that's being a jerk . . . 

OK I will take a shot at it.if NW is like most states.. you will need to hang your license with a brokerage.. and the brokerage usually requires you to join the local BOR and you sign up for and JOIN MLS.At that point you get your MLS supra key or whatever lock box system they use there and then you simply look up listings there will be showing instructions on there that the listing agent loads in.. and you follow the instructions..

I do a preliminary review of the application and if they meet my written Tenant Selection Criteria then I log on to mysmartmove.com and have them sent the instructions to pay and complete the process through them.  

Well his collection system was about as simple as it comes.he had some pay on the 1st and some on the 15th.. he went to every door every month personally.. they were instructed to Pin the rent in an envelope to the front door..

@WillSchryver Check out Bob Hogue at www.hogue-school.com and also 360 Training at http://www.360training.com/promo/florida-real-esta...If you have the time going to an actual class is of great benefit as you learn a lot not just from the instructor but also from the questions others ask that you may not have thought about. 

My careers included accountant, insurance sales, entrepreneur (retail...successful, but took too much time, so sold so I could spend more time raising my boys), software developer, college instructor, college administrator, and instructional designer (curriculum developer).Over the years, my husband and I rehabbed a few properties for rentals, which we later sold, so now that I am at loose ends again (the college I worked for the last 10 years gained a new administration who decided to lose a few hundred employees), I decided to try my hand at flipping.

Data Storage - I would like the ability to store tenant-assessable documents like house rules, parking/laundry/trash info and instructions, etc.
