The fact that I might get this one without competing with cash buyers is just a bonus...and remarkable for the LA area.

And there are some sweet bonuses involved.

A bonus to this group is they've teamed up with some Social Media/Online marketing experts who give advice immediately before the REI meeting or immediately afterwards.

Pay: base of $2/hour (not a real pay - just a non refundable advance on the bonus to be earned in the future) + bonus based on a formula that gives you X bonus points for each closed deal (X = % of the deal), Y points for the profit on each deal (Y = % of the profit), and -1 point for each time waster that calls my number (mostly a pay for results scheme).-------------------------- End of Instructions --------------------------------------As you can see, those instructions are quiet different from what many VAs get (such as, run one of each of the 10 ads I am giving you on Craiglist everyday).VA may not be the right term for such work.

Taxes should drop to somewhere around $1,000 mth this year.This property also qualified for Gulf Opportunity Zone, Go Zone, tax benefits which was designed as 50% accelerated depreciation bonus after Hurricane Katrina.The condo units themselves appraised at around $250,000 at the height of the real estate boom when they were constructed in 2007-2008.

When the listing agent submitted the bid on my behalf, she was presented with two lines on the bid submission form:"6(a) Upon sales closing, Seller agrees to pay to the broker a commission (including selling bonus, if offered by seller) of:6(b) Upon sales closing, Seller agrees to pay to the broad listing broker (If broker identifided is not the broad listing broker):"My understanding is that these two fields are automatically filled in with the number 1250, but that she could have reduced 6b to something more reasonable like 500 - I feel that is a reasonable compensation for submitting the bid on my behalf and filling out the hud contract.

Around the time I will have 1.5 years (rounds to 2) at the company and and a modest corporate bonus for the year.

For me it was a bonus: I had a dog that didn't bark, didn't let me know if someone was coming, or at the door.

Another bonus is the fact that there are several more Lowes in my area.

First and foremost, I want to help her; it would be a bonus if it helps me too!
