Orlando seems more convenient to me being from out of state with its townhomes being furnished already and ready to be rented out short term.

I’m not that far from Austin so if you think they’re easy to find I’d like to make an order of about 10 at your earliest convenience.:)

If such fee, or any portion thereof, is paid by the Seller or the Seller's agent as a convenience of the transaction, then CLIENT will be credited by BROKER for the amount so paid and shall owe any balance due.In the scenario here, 2.5% of 80k is $2,000, which doesn't meet the minimum $3,500 as stated above.
