I recommend seeking a professional who charges for the value they bring to the table.

There are times when we see deals on the table that won't produce any cashflow or not enough cashflow to meet our target hurdle rate but the tax benefits or appreciation potential may make the deal attractive. 

Ditch the red rug, increase art and add dresser, bedside tables to bedrooms.

If you are getting what you are looking for then I wouldn't be worried about leaving bookings on the table, if you aren't, you may have to tweak your rates (or other things about your listing).  

I do not only have money to bring to any table.  

Part of that reassurance comes from bringing some experience to the table and a proven track record of investing successfully.

By the time I got to the closing table, instead of me bringing a check, they gave me a check.Fast forward to today, it has more than doubled from appreciation and cash flows a ton, and I was able to get a great property manager in there to handle EVERYTHING.

He would need to find a place to live,which would take money off the table for collateral in his next deal.

During my Longmont deal, I realized how important it was to have someone who not only brought resources to the table but also shared the workload and decision-making.

He gets his referral fee up-front, regardless of whether they bring any options to the table.
