Then you want to get into specifics about the condition of the home.. condition of the: roof, exterior, hvac, water heater, plumbing, floors, walls, etc.

The service they offer is title insurance, which insures that the title to a specific property is free from defects and nobody but the buyer has claim to the property.  

My question is how can I negotiate how much I make in commission or fees off this deal and are there certain contracts specifically used for off market properties?

Can you be more specific zip, neighborhood,price range(all-in cost),Cap rate, area and property that definitely off the table and when were you looking to close

I make about 1-5 contacts a day and I really, really want to bump those numbers up by making specific goals everyday.

This is just a quick example and we can get more specific in a private message.

Chris Cozzens hi are you looking in any specific city's/county's ???

I've only been in CA for a year, but I'm looking to expand my network locally as I've focused primarily on the East Coast, specifically Philadelphia.  

Vacancy times can depend a lot on things specific to the particular market you are in.

While most Net Zero buildings are energy efficient, perhaps even highly so in comparison to minimum building code requirements, there is nothing requiring them to anywhere new the efficiency level of a Passivhaus   .... this is why you will see odd things like warehouses with large rooftop solar installations being able to claim Net Zero.On the other hand, Passivhaus sets three metrics which a building must meet to be certified as Passivhaus compliant:  The building must have a heating and cooling demand of not more than 15 kWh/m2 (4,755 BTU/sq ft; 5.017 MJ/sq ft) per year  and a peak heat load of 10 W/m2.Total primary energy consumption (energy for heating, hot water and electricity) must not be more than 120 kWh/m2 (38,040 BTU/sq ft; 40.13 MJ/sq ft) per yearThe building must not leak more air than 0.6 times the house volume per hour (n50 ≤ 0.6 / hour) at 50 Pa (0.0073 psi) as tested by a blower door.Ironically, the research and pilot projects which fuelled what eventually became the Passivhaus standard was carried out in Saskatchewan as a National Research Council (NRC) project in the 1970s (the house is still in use today) and a similar project (Minnesota?)
