I’m making a few assumptions: 1) at least some buyers and sellers will accept much less agent handholding than commonly assumed, 2) the primary value that agents add is a) pricing guidance and b) advising clients on offers and counter-offers, and 3) there’s no truly compelling reason why North America has the highest average commissions in the rich world.

This is not get rich quick.2.  

ROC does a normal appraisal, but they can close very quickly if you place the loan on a rush  Joseph when I did those deals with you  in Dallas I think I used Kiavi and for me they did not do appraisals  but that was what 6 or 7 years ago..

And then get to a decision quickly.

I planned to do a piggyback HELOC to have access to quick capital in case a good next deal came along but it has been a long drawn out process and right at closing they decided they needed a new appraisal.

When calculating that into your analysis you’ll see that can eat up your profit real quick.

I'm paid fairly quickly, at the time the assignment occurs.- go through all the above motions, but this time I don't assign the lease and option to the tenant-buyer.

If your tenant hasn’t paid the full first month’s rent, the best thing to do is address it quickly but calmly.
