I'm considering whether it would be worth having a website to attract customers for entry only agreements (charging a flat fee to list properties on MLS).

Commercial is always based on location.If a Wal-Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, Target, etc come into town you can bet that the value of the land is going to go up.The improvements to the property will go up with inflation because the cost of a 2x4 goes up so the cost to build or rebuild the improvement will go up because of this.Now when an area runs out of land that can be developed then the prices of land in that area sky rocket if it's desirable land.

I bet it is less than $100 unless they stocked up on frozen meat.

You'll essentialy be paying interest on your own money, so you'd better be sure if you refinance it's to invest the money in something that does much better than the interest the bank charges you on this $$$.

Im willing to bet responses would go up.

Your best bet is to find one that is, and stick with them.

That's 6% better than most managers charge (more if you include all the fees).

Well first of all, at least in my state it's not legal for someone to charge you a percentage of the deal for their services unless they are a licensed realtor.

I always thought you would just charge the assignment fee and that would be your pay.

They certainly felt he was knowledgeable and passed the "smell" test.I'm sick of going to real estate investment club meetings where gurus who look like contractors are charging newbies for know how about real estate.
