Franklin,I believe that the traditional fees charged years ago have come down because of the sheer amount of people in the business, technology and the DIY people.

I believe the best course of action is landlords putting more pressure on the normal commissioners like Saltzman and Fritz.

Because my risk tolerance is very high and I believe this area will take off.

I can’t believe how many investors are so focused on buying and not how to KEEP THEIR PROPERTIES or KEEP TRACK OF THEIR PROFIT AND LOSS.

I've been toying with the idea of getting into rentals as some more supplemental income, and although I've struggled with the math as far as justification, i believe the main reasons folks here by rentals (please correct if I'm wrong) are: Cashflow (although I've seen people do deals eg on Roofstock for only $100-200/mo) + appreciation (when sold) + taxesSo assuming I'm correct there, then the potential tax benefits are 30% of the reason to do rentals.

Another benefit would getting him to move down on price, letting him know that he would be making money on the interest.I believe one of the units has a new roof on there but the other one is getting older.

If you believe you will need cash soon enough, then you want to put as little as possible, so that you can do more purchases to start building up your portfolio.If you believe you won't need the cash for the near future ... then put down 20% and avoid extra expenses ... such as PMI ... etc.My very first rentals, I bought them in class A, pure appreciation play, put 20% down.

I believe success comes from mastery.
