Maybe we can pass that off for $245k from the current $250k ;)Too good of a client to ever give up by choice - they are just good people and model clients, which on any engagement is a rarity, never mind such a large one.  

Then, and only then, tackle another strategy/business model.

I prefer durability and simplicity over style. 

I have relationships with several builders reps that I get lists of homes with incentives and sometimes builder models that come up for sale or cancelled contracts which gives me a slight advantage over others that are just searching MLS.

Though they close one out of ten deals, their business model is stealing deposits.  

As you progress, you'll discover strategies that resonate with you and your investment style.

Also what type of markets have seemed to support this model best?

While I do price competitively, I am personally not competing with the "race to the bottom" lenders that will do loans for almost free because their model is volume.

Anyone who tells you otherwise, didn't put forth the effort or they tried to reinvent the Renatus model if they marketed the product. 

Just depends if the site wants to cater to the true fan or to a larger audience (and both are viable models).
