I suppose you could write a contract including the agent's fees, if the numbers still make sense.        

Do you have any suggestions of anyone that would be willing to do a quick walk through with me for a small fee just to give me an idea what I may be dealing with?

Much of our data/lists actually comes from services that charge monthly fees for downloads, so I am currently not purchasing lists. 

If there are any huge issues with a gravel basement, I would like to find out now, as we could get out of the contract before we pay the inspection fees. 

We pay $199.00 marketing fee up front and that is all we pay the auctioneer.

Cash for purchase: $50,000Hard money loan:  $150,000($80k in escrow) 4 points and 11.9% with a $3k extension fee after 6 mo. 

Then, the market crashes and rents go down 80% due to some varying factors...none of which you really had control over.  

Hi allLet me introduce myself first My name is Oron, and I'm from IsraelI found out about this forum while reading Brandon's site\blog\postsI want to start investing in real estate, and I'll soon start analyzing numbers in excel sheet :) I've decided that the US is a good option to startThe problem - I need a company to manage the asset and the process from the beginning I'm not familiar with such companies, and I would love that some of you guys will recommend me on some, and maybe will give me some articles to readThere are a lot of open questions like:How do I know their fees are reasonable? 

They are fully rented (month to month) and gross ~$64000, with $17,000-$20,000 in annual expenses, before loan payments and management fees. 

Do you give them a flat fee (let's say $1,000 per successful deal)?
