Sub-meters are available(Daniel Jerman Co.) for about $50 each and hold tenant accountable for actual water usage and not a percentage.

I like Jesse's answer as it gives just a percentage and not a figure, which leads to interpretation.

That percentage seems similar to what you mentioned.Since the lenders are starting to discount more heavily and more frequently now than what I had seen previously, that percentage may start to rise.

I have not used it from these companies online that you see offering you to use their money for a high percentage and processing fee.One of my mentors trust me enough to use his cash and the way he has his POF letter states that it is a cash funding and the funds are available.

The big investment banks have now offshored a lot of this to India because the wage differential is MUCH higher (even in percentage terms) for these jobs.

A very high percentage of the time, they are not motivated to sell and just want to see your best offer.

Used to be that in these deals (tax sales) that most investors were looking for the amount of interest that they could recieve for their "bids".Most were redeemed by the owner within the reclaimation period and therefore the interest amount was the most important factor to them as they were not counting on owning the property outright.But as more and more of a percentage of their monetary bids were remaining tied up in the lands they ended up actually purchasing the investment strategies have changed.Anything that you can pick up for less than half of the land value (no improvement value included) is always a great deal.

A smaller percentage of workers can not support and ever-larger percentage of deadbeats!

Similar to other schemes where you get a percentage of money smuggled out of africa.

THERE is NO ethics for agents, if there were, they would not push the higher priced properties or pass on the listings with lower commission percentages!
