While I know you mentioned commission based salary, I would make sure you create specific goals which if met gives them an added bonus. 

I think in most salaried cases even, you'd need a minimum of 2 years job history to qualify that income.

Just go in with the expectation that it is going to be an incredible amount of work with very little to show for it in your first few months.   

My question is this: I hear people talk about Bellingham like they don't expect to see it dip with the rest of the market.

I'll try to keep this short: When there is a Judicial Foreclosure between ex-wife and ex-husband (still on mortgage together) where Wife is foreclosing on the other - and if it ends up that there is no 3rd party bidder/buyer - what are the fees that the foreclosing party (Wife) will expect to pay since she will be the "winning bidder?"   

They might be fed up they might know they overpriced it, most sellers expect some negotiation.

Have a clause in your purchase agreement that gives you more time to do some research with local managers and Agents with experience without any penalty you will have to pay, to say what you can expect with that empty unit including the rental rate. 

In a job like that working continuously, you should have lots of money in the bank because high salary and no time to spend it!

Hey @Andre Crabb,If it's and investor oriented agent that is not by any means too much to expect.

(i did check with the apartment and they said either pay the full 1 year lease and get out or stay till contract is over... i was mad but had no choice). however, luck was on my side since i also got another job with an increase in salary.
