Its really up to you on how much they get paid.In a typical real estate transaction the seller(which is you) decides how much the selling agent/ buyer agent may earn including any PRE-determined bonuses.

Now you just have to find the necessarily motivated seller willing to accept your 'deal' offer or negotiate to whatever you've pre-determined is a fair price for your expected returns considering market rental conditions, and if the seller demands a higher price, you walk and keep looking for that next deal to come along!

Do you have predetermined topics/speakers?

That could be as simple as an option to renew/extend with pre-determined rent increases, for example.My concerns are several: why would you be willing to abandon your game plan and tenant criteria for an anomalous tenant prospect?

I'm a newbie and need some clarification:  is the ARV calculated with actual expenses from prior 12 months or is it a predetermined formula such as the 50/50 that underwriter's use?

You fund the deal, split the rehab, and split the profit at a predetermined percentage.

I just had an appraisal and it is clear they just manipulate numbers to arrive at their pre-determined value.

We went there, picked out the lot, the exact layout of the house (these were predetermined, about 10 selections) signed off, went through P&S, earnest deposit, all the hoops and whistles.  

I would try to get it under contract applying the 5k to the purchase price making it 32k and then every month that is paid on time a predetermined amount is credited to the purchase price no matter how small, it will add up.

Starting out at noon, Getting organized for the day based on a predetermined plan for that day, and then spending from about 1:30 in the afternoon until about 3:00 PM making and returning business calls.
