Example Calculation. If you're a building owner leasing a building for $3,000 per month for a three-year term, the total amount you can plan to collect is $108,000. You would pay your real estate agent an average of between $4,320 for a 4 percent commission and $6,480 for a 6 percent commission.
1 A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years after the date filed.  Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: The person filing repays a portion of his or her debts through a debt repayment program. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for seven years after the date filed.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. A completed Chapter 7 bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for up to ten years. Moreover, because all debts associated with a Chapter 7 bankruptcy are discharged within a few months of filing, they should drop off the report a few years before the bankruptcy itself.. Depending on whether you file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, the bankruptcy will fall off your report in ten or seven years. However, if none of your accounts are more than ten years old, a bankruptcy may effectively put you in the same spot as an 18-year old with no credit history.
