The agent who ultimately caused the buyer to purchase the home and earned the commission is generally the procuring cause agent.

If you're earning $15-18K in profit per project, I'm going to assume your all-in costs are going to be about $100K (that could be a bad assumption, but if you're earning 15-20% on your money per project, that's about right).So, he'd be contributing about $15K per project.

So, if you rent the high dollar retail space for 5 years, you get 15,000 "extra" space.

I finally had some extras cash laying around and needed to put it somewhere so I decided to pull the trigger and buy my first investment property.

You don't need to pay her extra.

Or I could not earn a dime and spend 100k for twenty years before I ran out.

.) - 50% down payment - 7% INTEREST ONLY - 5 year balloon payment - 3% loan fee plus closing costs - taxes & insurance are not escrowedRent ratios run 1.2% - 1.4%I am not a fan of the 7% interest only portion of the deal and at these costs, I believe I could actually purchase the property outright, earn the return over 5 years and be in a position to purchase another with cash.

Any extra appliance or ceiling fan, etc that has moving parts is just something extra that can break and you have to fix it.

Thinking you are going to get very much "extra" for a high-end remodel compared to a typical fixed product would be a huge mistake that the Buyer will be the only beneficiary of.

I earn a dollar.
