By fixing the strike price, you have given the option holder an ceiling on the price of the property and made it a little easier for them to plan and save.When the holder exercises the option, it is just like purchasing any property - they have their 5-20% down payment; they've cleaned up their credit and have pre-qualified for the mortgage.  

You may as a newer agent get a better commission split with KW, but in our area they have less brand power.  

The $900 covers cleaning cost and compensates us for the hassle and we get a tenant who will be in there and will be happy and will be able to pay.I suggest you get him out as quickly as possible to avoid non-payment (technically if he doesn't pay it will take a while to evict anyway and you'll spend a lot of money).

Hi all,After browsing a bit in the forum I figured I might as well just ask my question here.I am looking to buy a very old brownstone in Phili, it has an oil tanker in the basement and half of the house is powered by it.

Living there in that class is not easy but doable: if the neighbors clean your snow and cut your grass, you are part of the neighborhood already...please make sure to not disappoint them and give something back to the community...I would also recommend to read @Al Wiliamson, how to be a Leading Landlord, his series of threads here on BP about taking action and change a neighborhood.also beside your family discount, what does you dad and granpa told you about the neighborhood?

There was a couple dumpsters of clean wood and siding that was recycled and all of the concrete was definitely separated and recycled separately.

Nice clean building in a nice clean area.

Hey @Yahruth Els I'll let you know the power of keyword alerts and I'll just jump in the conversation. ;) Every time someone mentions manila I'd know, you might want to check that feature out: http://biggerpockets.com/alertsAnd yes, you should visit the Philippines soon, especially Cebu!

@Annie Thompson  Lastly ladies the industry has cleaned it self up.. not just because of TKR but the internet in general...
