I'm interested in hearing the commission your broker takes on your flips or if you attempt to sell them as fsbo.  

Here are the details:Purchase price: $125,000Rehab cost: $50,000Sale price: $220,000Closing costs/commissions: $20,000Net: $25,000Purchase to sold: 3 monthsPersonal funds invested: $30,000ROI: 83%The dollar amount isn't as sexy as what you see on all the HGTV shows, but everything is cheaper in the midwest...this is probably equivalent of a $75K+ profit in one of the hot west coast markets :)

C) is likely the best option since their management agreement with you likely states that you have to pay them commission if the property sells during the lease.    

But the market is still pretty soft in the area, and I need around $165,000 in order to break even (5% commissions, closing and lawyer fees, plus paying off the 1st mortgage).I've tried and failed to refinance the property on multiple occasions, even through the HARP 2 program, but everyone keeps coming back with, "you don't have a 75/25 LTV ratio, so we won't touch it".

As all we're involved in now is commission based, it could be a nice change of pace.

Some agents will charge you a commission, and some will charge their buyer.

lolI will be happy to list large properties for low caps to make a great commission but I am not a buyer on them for sure.

From my understanding, this is illegal and the other broker can lose his RE license, and I believe that Im entitled to 100% of the commission.

Of course I want the best split on commission I can get.

To give you just a little bit of background, I'm pretty much the furthest thing away from a newbie, and have lived on commission income for the past 12 years.
