I guess we shud all see this kind of place to realize how good we have it....what a cruel world we live in. shame shame on the governments of countries like this. im no mathmatician but i know if you spread around the wealth people dun have to live like this....shit,shit, shit!

Thanks for commenting. On residential leases, we get 1 month's rent, paid by the seller, which we have to split with the other agent if there is one. On sales, we get 6% total, but we have to split that with the other agent as well, so it is usually somewhat less than 3% per transaction. And homes in TX don't sell for anywhere near 500K-1mil. It's more like 100K-200K.
Remember what Abraham Lincoln said: "People get about as good a government as they are willing to put up with". Don't blame the governments - blame the people for not doing something about it.
