I work as a carpenter and 40% of my income is paid under the table.

No sense in leaving any cash on the table it you already have a Discover card. 

Make sure you speak with a specialist who lives and breathes "office space" and who truly understand the unique aspects of office leasing, rentable vs usable sq ft (some don't), optimizing operating expense recapture, and tenant retain-age. 

Rent it for a year ... now, you know you have a solid property, you know after a year you have a solid tenant, you know how much the operating expenses and rental income are, you've taken much off those unknowns and risks off the table, so you can now safely cash out refinance it to a level you know will cash flow (since you've validated the numbers), and can take that cash onto the next deal.

The problem is, each city is unique in the amount of time they take to process for permits, some cities do in house others farm out plan checks, etc.

People interact with data differently and I would be interested in what the community would like to improve upon: better data reliability, more unique insightful data, more accurate data interpretation tools or simply better coffee in the morning?

Here is the standard property management fees that I have identified: Free - property identification and email list; this will include number analysis$100 - inspection/tour fee per property selected from the list; this will include photos/video2% - Fee due at closing; 1% if over $100k10% - monthly rental chargeThe other missing factor here is that we bring a tremendous value to the table with our property identification and renovation team. 

They can show you where to go and get loans with your unique "little income but lots of assets" situation. 

It just feels like a branded piece offers more legitimacy, but then again, I did my first deal off of a hand-written bandit sign, so maybe my theory doesn't stick in this arena.In my mind, a letter with a unique envelope, logo, brief copy/clear messaging and call-to-action, and multiple ways to contact me make the most sense, but everything I'm reading points against that. 

@Julian Buick  speaking of the POT laws ORegon has its latest one.. and there is going to be a RE play that is going to be HUGE.. here in Oregon...but its one of those plays that will be unique to the area and will blow away any buy and hold strategy financially... !!!
