I had my fare share of financial modeling and asset management and can say I know how to analyze deals and asset manage very well.But, I was not too involved in the closing phases of the deals (lawyers, reports, debt placement, contract negotiations, parts of the DD...) so I lack knowledge in those parts, which I make up for in reading ton of materials and listening to podcasts.• After that I worked for three years as a management consultant at McKinsey where I sharpened my business acumen, problem-solving, storytelling, and presentation skills.

It is a pretty good explanation.The expertise comes from doing it for many years. 

But as a business model not such a great venture.

We believe that Biggerpocket's expertise and support would be invaluable to us as we take these first steps.

Leveraging Shannon's local market expertise, we secured the property for $215,000.

This will depend on the lender and their model (whether they're selling or holding this loan). 

Leveraging Graham's local market expertise, we secured the property for $370,000.

@Ruth Bayang  slight difference is they will also put up 80% of the money for you as long as you roll into a HML with them.. they make a TON on these deals.. they make the bid fee.. they make a hard money loan then they list back.I was close to starting the same model in pdx but the 08 GFC derailed me.. its a brilliant model they have an UBER profitable...

And guess what, it's the agent model.

Part of my business model has been not just profit but an enjoyment for the work.
