Spoke with a home builder today - they’re selling the same house for $900k that were $575k 5 years ago, many all cash

Commission transparency
$50k commission = $15k cash take home
House split = $25k
Taxes, 401k, insurance, misc deductions = $10k
Take home = $15k
It’s hard to make a lot of money in brokerage

This has been one of my most polarizing posts
Successful people: this post makes sense, no issue here
Unsuccessful people: name calling and age shaming (I’m 32)

Realistic day in the life of a real estate broker with a 1 year old
4:45 - wake up, contemplate life and immediately stress out that every deal is dying
4:45-5:15 - get baby stuff ready for day care, pray baby doesn’t wake up
5:15-6:00 - only quiet time of day, pray baby

Month 1 as a broker I missed a meeting someone drove 2 hours for
I didn’t put in my calendar – I thought I’d easily remember
The next day I drove 2 hours to show how apologetic I was
I’ve been OCD about my calendar since

Multiple calls with Rite Aid owners this week
My advice:
Seriously consider the reduced rent offer
Every one of these deals is above market rent, but the reduced rent may outweigh these extra costs to replace the tenant:
Broker fees
Tenant improvement allowance
Maintenance
