Quote from @Brandon Croucier: No need to be paying an upfront fee to a lender.As a lender it is our job to perform or we do not get paid. 

This agreement is just like a listing agreement when you go list a home, you are hiring the right person for the job, so this is the same type of contract, but this person is hired to find you the right home. 

I've been a broker dealing exclusively with multi family property over the last 20 years.Landlording is a tough job. 

I do relatively well in my day job by today's standards but my hourly rate for self managing is closer to that of a surgeon. 

The government has tried it with section 8 and rent control in some cities , we all know the end result .You would be better off starting a jobs program teaching the trades , educating them on finances and work ethic and then rebuilding abandoned properties for them to buy 

I agree that DealCheck (or the BP calculator) does not provide enough tools or functionality to analyze those types of transactions (yet).But I would argue that it does a great job at analyzing more traditional buy & hold SFRs and multi-families, as well as flips and rehab projects. 

Also, what niche jobs in real estate (Agents, appraisers, house inspectors, lendors, ect.) are going to be replaced eventually?

Thanks to God I have a well paying job and plan to use that income for any issues that may arise like vacancy or maintenance expenses.
