Yeah, it's an interesting model--I can see how it could work really well in some scenarios and not work at all in others. ...for one thing, you have to use furnishings that in-line with the look and grade of the property, and which are appealing to the typical tenant--which I'm sure can be a bit hit and miss...   ...I suppose that one hidden benefit with a furnished unit is that you don't have so much wear and tear from tenants moving furniture in and out, hanging pictures on the walls, etc....I just finished a rehab at a LTR property--the tenants were pretty good and didn't cause any excessive wear/damage, but even then, there's always a lot of patching and re-painting that needs to be done after long term tenants leave....

Right now, when I buy off the MLS, I have an agreement with my agent for a flat fee. 

While the BRRRR strategy can be highly effective in the right conditions, the current market conditions in Indianapolis (characterized by flat rent prices and high-interest rates) pose significant challenges.

Excess business losses are capped for single individuals at $250,000 and for married individuals at $500,000, with any surplus being suspended and carried forward.

I expect the RE attorneys will contribute more to the home buying process and make some more money.For the last group of people who still prefer to use their own agent for showings and advice, they will pay a flat fee per showing, but they will demand more value from the agent instead of simply opening a door.

most builders pay a flat fee for MLS access and then hire in house. that's what I would do. 50k for a person to sit at a desk. rent a trailer and stick them there for 12 months or 24 months. take the difference 

I'll be hiring a flat-fee agency to sell my home.

Yes, you can get on MLS by using a flat fee FSBO service. 

So we have an excess amount of money coming in now.

There will be a rise of flat fee brokerages (offering limited services) and creative compensation arrangements, such as RE consultants for time or a specific transaction.
