Quote from @Jaron Walling: We're still renting my first property from 2018, have cash-flowed every month, and "lost" every dime replacing the HVAC this year.

When I arrived to house, I explained to new owner that her thermostat did not need to be replaced and she was charged unfairly for something she did not need, that I would rewire it correctly and not charge her a dime for service call. 

Financially, you just stepped over thousands of dollars, to pick up a dime.

But I would not put a dime over what is matched.

And best part, it doesn't cost you a dime in interest, right.

Several layers of disaster noted in your investing plan1. using a wholesaler 2. unknown closing method 3. you didn't look up his license and complaint boards 4. you allowed contractor to cut corners and cheat  to save a dime 5. you didn't listen to your gut. 6. you issued checks before you verified work completed in workmanlike manner and didn't comb through the bills.......Learn from this.

Good luck most of my best deals dont cash flow a dime.. never have never will but deductive reasoning will see some nice appreciation over time.. example for me  Rohnert Park CA. 

Only difference with me is mate that I truly take it away hahaNot in it for the dime when it comes to such instances.Engelo Rumora doesn't have a price and NEVER will.Not too proud, just know the long term consequences of converting the sale.Maybe I'm the communist that doesn't want to take money when offered heheThanks mate and Viva Las Vegas

In Aussie, buyers agents are a dime a dozen and the only one's offering such a service are the "pumpers" that promote themselves as "financially free and if I did it, so can you"So mostly investor focus and work as buyers agents nationwideGrazie mille The 6% thing is an aggregate number, it's never been a standardized singular item. 

Many have gone like the wind, new ones pop up and will also disappear with the next breeze.Selling crap properties, in crap areas for more than they are worth and then passing on to 3rd party PM that nickel and dimes to death.It's a shame but it's been the same cycle since I started in 2012 and even longer that I remember.I feel sorry for such investors that commit so these providers but I feel even sorrier for those that try DIY BRRR from out of state.Asset classes are variable and "Potato" "Potato" lolFor example, I can almost but guarantee that my B class in Toledo for $90,000 for example is D class in Cinci.Lived in Middletown and owned a few rentals in Cinci so know the market decently.It also comes down to how someone was born and bread.I had investors come from Cali and laugh at me and my "B class" properties.They said it's Z class.Even tho my entire team lives in the area and so did I for 10+ years.No silver spoon in my mouth growing up and I wouldn't sacrifice my families safety in a so called "Z class" area.But we are all different, right?
