Intern for a major company in the area.

-what's interesting would be .... a loose-end different team brokerage like Exp , one team/agent is okay to have 2% retainer fee, the other one would ask for 2.5% and so on and other would offer flat fee, maybe they would have more agent internal competition inside.- this would impact large brokerage in expensive state like CA for sure.- but i think at the end it would create more and more local brokerage and reducing nationwide brokerage like re/max or exp or compass.

You can potentially be getting travel nurses, other business professionals, interns, etc.

We also work internally to manually check the numbers we get from the model. 

Make a list of all assets and their components (how many roofs, refrigerators, heating systems, etc?)

Plus, it's one of the key components to a successful STR!
