You could make it  commission based system or offer some incentive on top, maybe a percent from the first month  like a PM company takes  which would really motivate them to turn it around quickly and make sure it is perfect. 

I like to build my estimates from the ground up for each property ... to do this, take all the CapEx items that will need to be replaced over time for the specific property ... then research how much each of them will cost and what their expected lifetime would be ... then you can compute a $/month amount for each item ... add them all up and you have your $/mo needed for CapEx if you are going to be holding the property long term.

I understand that 95% or more of the people on here will disagree with me, but also consider that the 1 percenters are obviously not part of the majority.  

Ok, so it looks like what I need to do is find a buyer's agent who is willing to rebate me any percent they make above a percentage that we agree upon.And that is why I don't shop at best buy.

Profits and losses are split 50/50, with the depreciation and low income housing credit specially allocated 99 percent to the investment partnership and 1 percent to Development Corp.

I can give you an example.Here in Hayward, You can use up to 40 percent of the lot.

Anyone who pitches a  15% + IRR and only ends up achieving 10% or less should also be on the list... so maybe a 30-35% ish percent  cutoff is more aptLet us know where to find your list when it's published

I would tend to look for 10 to12 percent but would look heavier at return on cash put in returns and positive cash flow.  

 @Ben Leybovich blog about owning a primary grant-cardone-primary-residenceprompted me to run some imaginary primary numbers as if buying market value with an FHA 3.5 percent down and look at it with investment eyes...If one assumes you are in your primary for 30 years to pay off the mortgage.

I have 20 percent of the $70000 asking price.
