Projects that cost less than 70% of their ARV are the forbidden fruit. 

Why is he now entitled to fruits of my labor, my knowledge and education?

Be sure the juice is worth the squeeze!

I dont do them often but did one up in Washington state and it was 50% LTV on the primary and then cross collateral on a really cool Ranch in North Central Washington that was free and clear so I got a first on that as a cross.. and I would have loved to own that property :)  @Beth Johnson does a lot of seconds from what I see and like me she knows how to juice the equity portion of the deal..

Look for fruitful ways to advertise other than just Zillow. 

I have a 6-unit building I rent to mid-term renter only. I noticed I could add my units to google travel via futurestay.com. I also was presented with dynamic pricing. I have two big questions. One, is dynamic pricing...

But there’s only so much juice you can squeeze out of a portfolio.Interest rates are coming down and activity will increase in 2025, though the housing shortage is keeping prices elevated.So what can investors do?

I mean a general recession, we had flat/negative GDP the preceding quarters, S&P down 20% +.Not sure what more people want.What folks don't realize with investor saturation, tech, and everything in between, the market has a profound way of realizing positions and getting in & out of them to where the markets overcorrect and sometimes move so quick all the juice in it happens to squeeze out so fast.

You'll also find some clients that like to juice the commission on performance metrics, similar to what you posted, but that is also relatively rare as most owners feel if they're paying you north of $300,000, you should just try to get top dollar with strong terms.
