I am in investor myself and have long term relationships with other investors I work with.I am not looking for some huckster trying to get cheap service one time and then use someone else the next time.Many know bonuses tied into conditions are a waste and the sellers will look for any out to screw the buyers broker.This is why to just pay a higher buyers co-op is better.The TRUTH is you will get more showings with a higher commission that is guaranteed IF the property is priced correctly for it's condition and location.The statistics are about 86 percent of new agents won't last a year in the business.Knowing that they will likely only do a few deals before burning out they are looking at 2 things.1.The broker will have them on a fat split where the agent is on a 50/50 or 60/40 split their first few transactions.2.With only making a few sales they want them to count (big co-ops).Why do you think builders are always paying higher co-ops??

How about something where the negative vote needs to be corroborated by others to count as a vote?

I will tell ya that I hopefully will have some amazing posts coming up though that I'm excited about, I just have to make sure I don't count my eggs before they hatch.

Austin and Texas in general are so far above the average, they shouldn't count!

Definitely use this and plug in your findings.I've never done a multi unit deal like this, but it sounds like you need to do some investigation, and yes, I would count on higher than normal expenses in a building of that age, unless it has been completely renovated.Good luck.Jeff

Make sure they are acceptable, within one mile to three miles, don't forget style of the home in addition to sq. ft and the usuall bed/bath count.

Count me in!

So if the gross profit (not counting re-sell fees) was $250k, then you could expect a fee of around $25k, however, on a spread that large, often the % drops a point or three.

Nothing that you want to count on to pay the rent!

., but such a screwy floor plan counting bedrooms was an exercise in futility.)
