You need to determine what the cost of doing business is vs the reward and set your pricing accordingly.

Ultimately, these are investments, and your risk/reward should be the driving factor.Buying a 100+ unit will get you the efficiencies of being able to afford a couple full time people, right off the bat.  

While there might be startup costs for licensing and marketing, the potential to earn commissions from property sales can be rewarding.

A good contractor knows and respects this and knows that piss poor planning makes for poor performance just as well as the opposite makes for a long-standing and rewarding relationship.

I will ask him to run CMA, cash flow analysis and hint he can be rewarded more real estate role.

Some investments are higher risk, and higher potential rewards.

any time you borrow against your personal house, you are risking. it's like getting a HELOC and going on vacation. just that this "vacation" has a potential of paying you back if you do it right.no risk = no reward

When you seek to separate risk from reward, the idea is to get all of the reward and none of the risk, not the other way around, which is what you are asking from the broker.

All risk, little reward.

I felt the risk-reward was in my favor here, especially after stating in the contract that I can cancel the agreement for any reason during the first 14 days (which is also a law.)I've read the information on http://www.lonestarlandlaw.com/Lease-Options.htmlBut elsewhere, I read that some of these things aren't required.
