If the water bill is $100 a month, increase the price by 20% (or whatever you decide is fair) to compensate you for the time required to split and bill and to cover additional use when tenants squander the utility.

and so yeah i had already been googling numbers before i respond to or contact potential buyers/sellers/renters from sites like craigslist and hotpads (after having been sent on wild goosechases by craigslist pranksters with apparently no life)come to think of it, its only a matter of time criminals can use this info accessible online by simply placing bogus ads on craigslist for whatever in order to generate a high call volume and arrange to meet those whose credit score/data collected and identified indicate they are wealthy - ie investors  looking for even more property, and/or agents looking for even more listings - and before u know it, the meeting turns into a hostage situation for ransom from family members, and/or being taken on an ATM withdrawals shopping spread with a gun to the head.likewise it could potentially be used to target minors by pedophiles and/or the elderly by home invaders, since age of the owner of the phone# is one of the things apparently readily available now online likely even for free.ok, ok, perish the thought. but credit (financial) data (however 'soft) just based on something as trivial as the cell phone number, and the ease of accessing such nfo for free or just a dollar (like at http://www.intelius.com/reverse-phone-lookup.html) is just setting up alot of wealthy consumers as victims to robbery, abduction for ranson, id theft, and/or murder .http://www.intelius.com/reverse-phone-lookup.html"Reverse Phone Reports include, if available: Owner NameAgeAddress Possible RelativesHistorical LocationsPhone CarrierSpecial Price with Intelius Premier Offer$0.95 Special Price"

All of the brokers and originators are compensated either entirely or partially by commissions.

Just hopefully your agent will negotiate the hassle you'll have to go through within your contract to compensate you!

These situations are always tricky as you may have a suitable candidate but the income is off and he may be genuinely compensating for it without a malicious intent.

If the money guy is going to be an owner of the property or the company that owns the property, you have a lot of ways to compensate him or her.

His loan and rate likely include the compensation to the broker, whereas a loan at a lower rate wouldn't so it needs to get charged... so what are the origination fees?

Hello @Rosalie Brummett,Instead of randomly selecting a state, I recommend selecting an investment location based on the goal of buying a dependable passive income so you can get off and stay off the corporate treadmill.For a passive income to be dependable, it must meet three requirements.Reliable - Your income continues even in difficult economic times.Inflation-Compensating - Rental income increases faster than inflation, compensating for rising prices.Persistent - Your income will last; you and your spouse won't outlive it.All of these require getting three things right.Location - The most important investment decision you will make, not the property.

However, if a licensed agent brought you a buyer, you need to compensate them.With a LO, you simply look at market rent and add in a bit (10-20%). 

Wanted compensation for lost time at work and doctor bills.
