USPAP (the appraiser's bible) requires each appraisal submitted to a client to state in the certification that compensation is not based on a predetermined result or value.  

There was a section about S Corp declarations and making use of the status proactively if you hit a predetermined income threshold.

Charge her hard money points during the hold time, you keep preferred equity (your money comes out first), and you take a pre-determined portion of the overall profit (say 10-20%).

Because of that, I’m very careful to leave my emotions at home and rely only on my predetermined numbers when I head to the courthouse each month.Something happened this week that reminded me to keep my emotions in check no matter where I’m going for the deal.

They charge a few bucks every month (which I make the tenant pay for) and then if something breaks all you need to do is pay the pre-determine service fee (which I also make the tenant pay)AHS will replace whatever they cannot repair free of charge.

I've heard alot about having verbiage in rental agreements / leases that allow you to increase rent based on oil prices crossing a pre determined threshold.

@ jarese for starters..i would say identify your strengths...are u a people person..a numbers guy...have a lot of time..a money guy where u have funds to go residential versus commerical..however this last criteria may be a little skewed given the fact commerical property can be acquired fairly cheap in the detroit market...i would also say decide if u want to get into the rehab bussiness the landlordong business wholesaling birddogging etc...all these things can make u money but i would suggest that u pick one and stick to that until u meet a predetermined goal u set for your real estate objectives

I have tenants prequalified for loans who are willing to pay over Market Rents in order to move into a home now that they plan on owning at a predetermined price.

Or is it always a predetermined decision and if you buy it as a flip it is almost rare you change your mind and hold it as a rental?

From what I've been told, with short sales the bank predetermines the commission that will be paid and the 2 agents have to split the fee.
