Y/Y Price change: The percentage change in the median listing price from the same month in the previous year.      

I realized I didn’t stipulate when I get the “management fee” - only after a minimum return percentage is achieved.

., so using a percentage is not the best practice in my book.Leasing Commissions: If you are truly passive you will likely find 1/2 to 1 month commission for new leases and 1/4 to 1/2 month for renewals. 

The only negative I see with this approach is that it'd delay my entrance into the real estate investing game.On the other hand, because the interest rate on the car loan is only 3.5% and my cash flow is already at a decent amount, I'd only have to find a property whose returns could beat that percentage, right? 

Remember the more you earn the less percentage the fees are.

With higher price points in California I would imagine even those smaller percentage changes could end up having a sizable hit on that agents paycheck.

I was wondering if I can find and partner with local agents for the help on this.What I am looking for is:A) Access MLS APIB) Get property data based on MLS IDI am willing to pay for temp access in a format with a flat fee of a mix of percentage and flat fee of grunt labor of filtering through the MLS (as an assistant).Please let me know if you would like to help out and interest in it.

The Solo 401(k) also has the advantage of being more favorable for real estate investments using debt-financing such as a mortgage - as the 401(k) is exempted from a small tax called UDFI that an IRA would pay on the percentage of income derived from the borrowed money. 

Hey, when doing rental property analysis what’s a good capex percentage rate to use for a condo (The condo has an HOA which is responsible for major exterior repairs i.e roof etc)?

@Michael LettieriI can’t speak for every state but in NC when the seller signs a listing agreement, they agree to pay the listing firm a percentage, in your example it might be 5%.
