You don't need to tell us how much your commission is.

@Casey Hampton your local Housing Commissions should have websites that you can use to educate yourself.If you want someone to spoon-feed you, there are several S8 "gurus" that will charge you to basically summarize what you can learn on your own.

They are making more money from mark-up on repairs then their management fee "Commission Paid" at $2,280. 

 Hello,I have 3 single family rental homes aprox net value after RE commissions-Closing costs for the total ($560,0000-580,000). these 3 are all paid off. 

If you are considering property management the commission is usually between 25-35% on the Coast. 

The high DB means higher fees and higher commissions.

I am a licensed Real Estate Agent but I am not a broker, I pay my broker a fee for holding my license similar to a commission split but its just a flat fee. 

My question is, with everyone taking a loss, the title company has reduced their fees, the RE has reduced their commission, and the seller will walk away with no money, how do I prevent getting to the closing table and someone (Either the bank or the other lien holder) deciding they do not want to remove the lien or take a loss.

Thought I would just huge commission and get agents flocking to me.

. 🏠👍 100% agreed.I've witnessed way to many investors over the years getting caught with their pants down when using too much leverage.The real estate "guru" world is incentivized by selling more properties (Realtors earn commissions on every property sold) and "no money or low money" strategies (Easy way to flog books and seminars), etc...So leverage to the tilt they would say...The best deals are bought quickly and with cash.All good things take time and so does building a strong and sustainable real estate portfolio.Start slow and small and build the foundation of your portfolio with cash.This will minimize losses when vacancies occur and one hopefully won't have to put their hand too deep in their own pocket to cover expenses as they occur (Especially large expenses like mortgage costs).Once a solid foundation has been built and experience gained over a period of time of what the true income vs expenses will be, then look at using leverage.Also, all deals should be analyzed from a "devils advocate" standpoint and don't get too excited about it's initial prospects.If you think it won't happen to, I'm here to tell you that it will.This is coming from someone that has done hundreds of deals and has seen it all.Always protect the bottom line first and foremost.Much success
