Several of my RE agent/broker friends have asked me if I'd like to get into staging, and it seems like I could get pretty steady work from them.Since this is new territory for me, I thought I'd ask you all what your thoughts are on the challenges I may face, pricing structure, etc.  

On a purchase mortgage with a quick closing where A and B are that close together like that, I'm still going to prioritize reliability and speed over rate for the consumer's own good, but there are plenty of refinance scenarios where this comes up and I can't answer the consumer's "what's the rate?"

They will do the bare bones to get a permit and then do the work.

It won't bankrupt me and if other investors run for the hills that's just another buying opportunity :)I spoke to @Adam A. about this in person and might be interested in throwing some big $$$ behind it.I want to be the face of the argument for publicity purposes lolMy team is advising me not to do it, but this is a fight I wouldn't mind picking.One thing tho, I have felt a lack of respect from local Toledo investors for sometime now so that is the only thing holding me back.Talk to me Andrew :)

Anyone of you faced a similar situation?

Let's face it, most of these TKs are not brilliant investments. 

I have many friends looking to invest and partner, but we are consistently faced with prohibitive entries and less-than-ideal cash-on-cash returns here.

Hello BP,I am an Active Duty O2-E and facing that magical time of year....TRANSFER SEASON.

Generally the lawns and gardens should be reduced to a bare minimum and where possible removed entirely.

I know of a couple agents that lost their license over it and faced some serious fines and penalties.
