If targeting new or newer agents, you are competing with other brokerages more on services offered and less on commission splits.

Originally posted by @Theresa Harris:I'd only get involved with flipping if you can handle the risk and you have a team who is able to get it done in a timely fashion.Absolutely, I would definitely only get involved when a core four group of individuals have been vetted and put in place.

If a certain number of individuals living in a house are unrelated, it is considered a boarding house and has more regulatory requirements.

You can ask for references on smaller outfits or Mom and Pops type individuals.

I second his statement to do as much networking and speaking to individuals as much as possible.

Ask everyone that is an individual landlord if they would also be willing to sell with owner financing.

Speaking with other individuals they noted that something more in the range of 6-8% with a 50/50 profit split would be more reasonable.

For three or more unrelated by blood or marriage, I require each individual to make 2x the monthly rent.

The opportunity to help 3 individuals with their families at the same time is amazing!
