Should you find/assign the contract to an end buyer the broker is full right to all commission made on the sale of the property as they have the exclusive right to sell the property NOT YOU, and the seller will need to pay the broker a commission. 

At the same time, there was another unit in our building (Gold Creek) for sale and I convinced them to go 50/50 on it.

Your best defense is to RTFC - Read the full contract, the FAR-BAR contract for sale of real estate (whichever one was used), and any agreement with the buyer or seller.

However, Beth Rojas with Agency Title is the best in the area for short sales. 

I have gotten into a cycle of going to the car washes 4-5 times per week, usually for a couple hours per day.

Hi Keziah, I am local Realtor in Monterey.I'm also a Veteran, and know about VA loans.As a buyer you would not incur any fees for the sale process; the seller will pay the commissions.PM me, and I would be happy to answer any questions.Greg

If you're more of a risk taker, invested in a flooded home and purchase it as a discount to repair it back together, rent it then sale it later when the value has gone up and people don't assume we flood like this all the time.

If you uncover that answer, it may shed some light on the investment (maybe it's good info and it satisfies my skeptical approach)I have found the biggest three seller motivations (with landlords) are:1) Tenants are subpar and current owner is tired of managing (in this, you're inheriting headaches, eviction, and much higher repair costs than you expect). 2)  An estate took over and just wants to get it gone (in which case there is probably a back balance owed that needs to be flushed out along with a general lack of property knowledge). 3)  My personal favorite: the Owner bought via tax sale deed (and therefore does not want to be a landlord, just wants his investment + reasonable return).If everything checks out, it sounds like a great deal bud.  

First, I would identify the average price points of the majority of recent sales in your area that you want to work in.
