I have NO IDEA.

I think you get the idea of how much I make.This is the monthly statement for my business. 

I'm more concerned about appreciation and equity so I'm willing to trade the cash flow for it, but I don't want to be in a situation where I'm barely breaking even and the stress that comes with it.Looking for ideas how I can tap into that equity to grow my portfolio but still getting some kind of cash flow to be able to make the monthly payments1.

If your local market is very active and homes are selling fast, you may be able to get by with doing less.Your Home’s Condition: If your home is vacant or has a unique layout, using a professional stager who can bring in the right furniture and accessories may help buyers truly visualize its full potential.Your Budget: Talk to your agent to get an idea of staging costs in your area, as it can be the difference between your house selling and sitting.

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front. 

@Jake Handler Always a great idea to raise rents!

Chris Mason Your idea, though clever, is too complicated.

Great idea.

Partnering with an experienced motel operator is a smart idea—it can help bridge the operational knowledge gap and mitigate risks.When evaluating motels, focus on metrics like occupancy rates, average daily rate (ADR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR).

Nowadays with social media you can get a good idea of how they run their business.
