I know what apartments will rent for, and if I didn't I would just call comparable "for rent" signs in the area.

I have several commercial investors whom I have established relationships with whom have asked me to sniff of a few Apartment Building for purchase w/good cap rates and are willing to spend between $500,000. and $1,000,000.What is a fair % percentage to ask the broker to pay me for producing a ready to go buyer should they indeed purchase?

If I remember right it's your yearly NOI (taxes, insurance, bills, snow removal what ever it cost to maintain the apartment building.

well I just bought a 50 unit apartment.

It is a 15 unit apartment building in Texas.

If the rest of the kitchen is falling apart, a new one may not be a great investment.

I'm interested in finding a private lender that can assist me with the purchase of some residential properties and a couple apartment buildings in the Atlanta area.

In my research I have seen this fee be anywhere from 50-100% of one months rent on an apartment to a flat fee of $300-$500 dollars.

So there are incredible deals out there if you keep scanning the mls listings.The reason you want to raise capital in the early phases of your realestate investing career is to build up some cash so that you can buy your first apartment building.
