You can collect the buyer side commission from the seller of the house, plus an assignment fee from the investor.You may want to discuss this business model with @Roy Cleeves.

If the Seller requires 10% down, that should be enough to pay the agent their fee for the sale.

Every time it rains the basement flooded because he did not properly install a drain outside.

Typically you need an exit strategy for any HML because you don't want to pay the points/fees for a long period of time, as that will eat into your profits.

My contract with them has $1000 fee for breaking early.

Fees will run anywhere from $600 - $1,000.If you add the interest and fees just as part of your cost and it still looks like a good deal, then do it.

By the time your unit is rented, you have now saved a lease up fee due to your property manager of likely $600-$800.  

Hi All,When we purchased a Triplex Rental in 2015 we installed the Kwikset Smartcode Keyless Entry/Code Levers https://www.kwikset.com/products/styles/smartcode-... and Deadbolt Locks  https://www.kwikset.com/products/styles/smartcode-....

I just read $4.50 foot to install copalum in swiches and outlets...but there are little purple boxes that are alternative type of pigtailing. 1970‘s track house is a good first rehab...its a modern house.

I will assume your cash flow projections are good and include cap ex, maintenance, vacancies, PM fees, miscellaneous, etc.Selling gets you virtually $0 so in effect you have $0 invested.
