And, if you have not purchased any property- these general expenses would be treated as start-up expense like @Basit Siddiqi said.Since you have identified which property to invest, generally speaking, all the cost spent for the specific property know as" inherently facilitative costs" need to be capitalized as if the deal were gonna go through. 

FYI the move-in fee or commission can range from 2500-10K+ depending on the home.The information to facilitate these transactions can be done via craigslist (FSBOS) and tenant buyers can be marketed to via websites - google ad words, facebook, plentyoffish, etc.

I think it would be a great way for some here who can facilitate business on line in various ways to get a shot in the arm business wise.Good luck!

We facilitate short sales for many Realtors that don't feel they have the time or expertise to do it themselves.

Call me or email me i work for a company that facilitates these lines of credit.

As I said earlier, I would not remove the plaster solely to facilitate re-wiring. 

The way you make sure that all of this comes together correctly, is to be sure to use the "Safe Harbor" of a 3rd party facilitator.

Mediation is a process in which parties attempt to resolve a dispute by submitting it to an impartial, neutral mediator authorized to facilitate the resolution of the dispute but who is not empowered to impose a settlement on the parties.

For more static assets, this can be a good model.Retirement plan facilitators and consultants offer more sophisticated programs that provide you with checkbook control.  

@Joshua Dorkin @Mindy Jensen This is a great direction to go with increasing BP's effectiveness as a networking resource, but I think there is even more potential to be tapped here.BP does an excellent job in facilitating rapid, personal growth of your real estate networks by letting you connect with others in your geographic location, market segment or area of interest.
