Renter, paying $3000/mo. 
OK, this is another mindless post. It's actually a "Friday funny" posted on Thursday because.......well because I felt like it. I'm not sure what has gotten into TLW lately, but today, as I was sitting in my office working blogging, the arousing aroma of chocolate baking came pouring in. So, I just had to get up to see what was going on. Anyway.......here's what I found.
Yep, that's right, beginning yesterday Knoxville, Tennessee is playing host to over 16,000 motorcycles and their rider(s).

Neil Osborne, presented his overview, "How to Analyze and Value Income Properties" at the NAR Commercial Alliance's Online Convention. It covers basic financial measures used to determine the value on an income property and gain an understanding of income multipliers, capitalization rates and other analytical tools used when considering purchase of income properties. Some Highlights of Presentation: Gross Rent/Income Multiplier, comes from identifying comparable sales, then dividing comparables' sale price by the gross annual income (rent).

What about when you can not continue a transaction you started (vacation plans or family emergencies, etc). Whats the appropiate split then? Here is how I see the comission split based on the closing process.

I was recently surprised at how many agents were not familiar with a product called Tech Shield. It is a radiant barrier best installed when a home is being built.
