Providing Walkthroughs as a Service -- Bad Business Idea?
I self-manage my own properties and really enjoy it. I've been dabbling with a few different small business ideas to startup on the side, and I thought that perhaps starting a business that offers walkthrough services to landlords (particularly those out of state) and property managers might be an interesting and cool niche idea. Basically, charging a flat fee to perform walkthroughs on behalf of landlords/PMs, documenting the findings, writing up a report, and sending it their way. Does this seem like something that might not be too well received? I'm thinking that OOS landlords who self-manage, and PMs with busy schedules, might benefit from something like this, but I might just have my head in the clouds.
