It's not a deal but understand this.5% is not enough down.The seller has to pay a commission to the broker and replace their cash flow if the property is making money. 10 to 15% is more reasonable as it helps seller pay for commission and closings costs with attorney or legal and puts a little jingle in the pocket.The 10 to 15% is still better than the bank at 20 to 25% down with short balloons of 3 years and 20 year amortization rate.Sellers often think since they are offering owner finance that they can sell a crappy deal at an inflated price to a buyer and it is acceptable.

Even tho listed properties are typically high right now, we are still getting REO's and Short Sales under contract; granted, this is by making lots of offers, and giving up both sides of the commission many times.  

But this time, you have a 8 units bringing in additional cashflow, appreciation and mortgage amortization.Take note that selling all your SFH might not get done in 2 months...Also, you'll have to deal with the tenants or sustain empty homes while trying to sell them, pay commissions to broker, etc.

Any bonus, commission, or variable income will need 2 full years of documentation to use.3) I am a lender/investor who would with Multi-family

As an agent I have no problem selling FSBO properties but is a seller expects me to do the work for both sides of the transaction for one side worth of commission they are deluding themselves. 

It's not complicated, and an experienced lawyer will be able to handle it for you, but if it is not done correctly, you can be in a lot of trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  

Unsurprisingly, we were over budget and past schedule but are excited that the Dallas-Fort Worth market is so hot...we are hoping for a quick sale. http://apps2.shoot2sell.net/gallery/mls/1602-brunson-ct-arlington-tx/Location: Arlington, TXPrice Paid: $94KList Price: $174,900Repairs: $46KHolding Costs: $5300Anticipated Closing Costs: $4373  Buyer's Agent Commission: $5247As you can see the numbers aren't great but not terrible at a full price offer. 

Tons of hours in as a broker to make 2,700 commission or 5,400 double ending it.What I learned from that experience is to choose what you work on.

I have an Aunt who is s real estate agent but I'm confused on how they make commission?

If $25k is net (of closing costs and commissions), it may be worth looking at.
