You’ve come to the right place to connect with some vary smart investors.

I was double that and so was Holt homes.. some of the one off builders were still at 2% or 2.5%  and it varied with how hot the market was the commish was moving all over the place.. the transaction I am talking about the broker had their client low ball us and ask for about 200k in upgrades PLUS double our normal commish rate..

You are looking for issues with the foundation and any other exterior anomalies like giant trees that could be in the sewer line or pressing against the foundation of the house, evidence of buried tanks, where the septic and leach field is, etc.There are plenty more things to focus on as well, but these four are often neglected by newer out-of-state investors relying on an agent or friend as their boots.What else did I miss?

Your milage may vary.

These guidelines vary by lender.

The fees vary with the specifics of the deal.

They're assigned locally by the AHJ, so it can vary from place to place.

Rent should be a standalone line item.With regards to fees, these will vary from property manager--flat fees, % of rent, and other structures depending on short/long-term rentals, unit type and location.1) I'd recommend utilities be separate.
