The only way to be able to accurately plan for just about anything is to have done it, or something similar before, and tracked your performance. 

I suspect they ratified the contract so commish is owed.I bet this just blows over its a small claims matter most likely anyways.. but one can sue for performance I did that last year and won.. my first ever but there was substantial dollars involved.I put up over 30k to pay back tax's and the seller would not sell.. so I sued for performance and won.Now I had to on the date of closing put all my cash into escrow 100% of purchase price and it was a tidy sum.. and it sat there for 18 months while we went through the court process.. the Judge gave the seller every opportunity to defend but she just went completely dark and lived there 2 years for free. but I know thats an extreme deal and most folks ( buyers will not go to this level) and or have the ability to do that since they need a loan to buy.. but there is a lot of cash out there so we can't make that assumption that the buyer does not have cash to come to closing on the close date and make a demand.  

Reassess this number every five years based on the performance of the property and the amount of debt left on the property.If you do this properly, all your surprises will be good ones.If, on the other hand, you are speculating in zero-cash-flow properties that you believe in your heart of hearts will appreciate and make you rich, I wouldn't feel confident saying that you are investing in real estate with FI as a goal.

My lease does state regular cleaning must be performed, or landlord reserves the right to hire a cleaning crew and charge tenant.

However, the green program seems to be all but eliminated, so if you were previously underwriting to green rates the shift to non-green might make a real difference in your numbers.When I’m underwriting, I’m simply solving for specific performance values.  

We have a hard-core sellers market right now and I've been seeing properties fly off the MLS that are performing at around a 4 cap and have negative cashflow.
