Other than that, it's all about which one commands a higher return on my investment, not necessarily the most rent.

e.g. if you plan to increase rents, do comparable properties command higher rents?

For ski resorts, ski-in/ski-out is a HUGE plus and is going to command much higher rates.

Also, if you can score Pontiac with an Avondale School District that will command higher rent, and much better tenants.I would not play in Detroit unless you have $100K-$150K liquid.  

By making the commission system a free-for-all, what will happen is that lots of people are going to be out on a wire unless they're willing to pay substantially more commission for services - there will be a whole lot less realtors, good ones will command higher commissions, and cheap bastards - both sellers and buyers - will get their comeuppance in the form of lost sales, screwed up paperwork, undisclosed defects, etc. 

 good schools command higher rent .

Having just 1 or a few will be hard to command accountability from already stretched vendors.I am not sure what your current lifestyle/professional demands are but this is a 24 hour job. 

. :-)BTW: I have three 2-bdrm apartments with 1.5 baths and at the moment they command an additional $50/mth over the 2bdrm, 1-bath units in the same building.

They wonder why the property doesn’t rent quickly and can’t command top market rent when the kitchen and baths are dated, and the property overall vibe/aesthetic is lacking luster. 

Lastly, the more track record a sponsor has, the more they can command.
