I have owned several real estate companies, written several books and courses on real estate investing, delt with hundreds of investors and trained dozens of agents.

Of course, all an agent needs to do is sell one big property and they're off that bottom tier of 50% to a higher per centage.

We are working with an investor that is looking for land to develope an equstian resort as well as a golf course and sfr's.

Of course, if you can give me a better discount, I can buy more properties from you!

And, my agent gave incredible service for the 2% she got - much, much more than just listing on the MLS.Of course, an added benefit that my agent received is that she also represented me on our new purchase so that was another 2.5% for her.Finally, the commission doesn't really matter *if* you have educated buyers.

a quick note...call me paranoid, but on my appliance addendum, it has the serial numbers of all appliances...nobody will be walking out with my fridge :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ...of course with a higher end rental, you may not have to worry about this that much

Get them the $$(doing what U DO BEST), may not fit Your scenario right now, however my foot in the door of rehabbers was putting up a FLYER offering my services to GC's & Subs (& of course their Cash Strapped Customers) @ Lowe's, Home Depot, 84 Lumber & the other "local" building Supplies companies w/a stack of cards.

A year at 12% interest with taxes and insurance means OUCH.When it was all said and done, I had to sell it for $17,000 less than what we had put into it to fix it up and on top of that I had spent $12,000 in holding costs over the course of the year.

If you find the right properties, my OPM will CYA (cover your ***) and of course mine plus my OPM will often help you structure your deal.
