I'd like to learn more about your Auction.com strategy/services.  

Is this an area of service most Brokers don't want to be bothered with?

Let me know if you like me to share contact details for any of this services.

I charge a 5% markup on contractor services... and it's a deal for my clients.

Thank you for your service @Jesse Anderson.

What Bob said above is what most of our clients do through us.And while the desired income level varies, the goal we map out seems to be 5-7 years typically until they've met it.We have a dentist in CO we're working with to map out an aggressive 5 year strategy (starting with more liquid cash) and jumping into a few 4 unit buildings as well as SFR.  

The tenant will then sign the estoppel to attest to its content.This is by far the best way to find out if there are any discrepancies in the information provided by the vendor (like the monthly rent being paid by one tenant is actually $100/month less that what is written into the lease, because he's the owners son and he vacuums the corridors and sweeps/shovels the walks).You can do the same thing with any service providers (i.e. snow removal or garbage service).

I subscribe to different services and marketing tools that really drive up my cost/mo for being a realtor..If you were just using it to look at properties and to save the "3%" (it's not really the full 3... as per Russell's post) it probably won't be worth it at the moment, but if you decided to pursue investing, it is an amazing tool.
