Hi all, I'm planning to get my Real Estate in Massachusetts soon this year and with the National Association of Realtors agreed to dropping the 6% commission rate, is this still a good idea?

idk, i feel like there are necessary details missing here. but i'm also wondering if it would make sense to just reallocate the percentages based on what each person is bringing to the table. it would've been easier if you did have an LLC whose operating agreement you could just change. there's also the 'lazy' 1031 or 'reverse' 1031 where you just make the sale, then strategize with your cpa on how to offset the cap gains for that year. also worth noting: 1/3 of something is better than all of nothing. it sounds like it's not really that partnerships aren't working, it's moreso that you feel like your % is no longer fair? 

I'm assuming based on his post that this is in Modesto or Merced.

Would it be beneficial to wait for the "home run" or to use different parameters and get a "base hit".

My guess is there isn't going to be a clear answer based purely on math and analytics, so what makes the most sense for your current life and your future goals? 

I am not directly working with him (I am based in Boise, Idaho) but have connected him to a solid lender and a investor friendly realtor. 

Hello,I'm new to this community, and value the knowledge base here!

We lend based on the performance of the property.

Do you buy properties to flip and you yourself are looking for someone based in Cleveland that is a contractor that oversees flips?

All numbers based!
