@Sandeep Gangadhar Property Management is probably the most important member of your team, since they represent you in front of the customers, in front of the contractor, in front of legal, they also collect the rents (financials)..etc.

I can appreciate that how the idea of selling and keeping that commission sounds good, but sometimes, it's best to pay upfront to prevent any legal quagmires down the road.  

I'm not an attorney so please do not take my opinion as legal advice.

It only makes them legally liable for the rent, which, they are not likely to pay anyway.

I think I have an idea how to separate these fees:Loan cost - Amortized over life of loan- Application fee - Appraisal fee- Loan Origination Fee (delivery fee)- Credit Report Fee- Record Mortgage fee- Mortgage tax - HOA questionnaire- title insurance (mortgage)- bank attorney feeTax basis Abstract and recording feesrecord deed Legal fees, title search, document preparationlegal fee title exam land surveyflood certification feeInspection feetitle insurance title insurance (owner)Is there anything I listed under the wrong categories? 

In addition to being a successful businesswoman I have a background as an award winning interior designer/ home stager, licensed private investigator, Florida Realtor and sales / marketing expert.

Skin" in the game is putting up money.In Indiana, net listings are legal as long as the contract shows the maximum commission.The problem will always come down to if the original list price was accurate.If your broker took in 10%-20% like a wholesaler, would you agree to that up front?

While designed as a cash flow strategy, it feels like any real upside would likely come from long term market appreciation. 

I think I would be most comfortable with scenarios that have minimal legal involvement with a decent rate of return. 

I'm guessing this is the right sub-forum since this is a tax/withholding/legal/investor contract kind of question.
