If the IRS labels you a "developer", which seems like a real possibility given your investment model, then your properties switch from "capital asset" to "inventory". 

For a long list of reasons, I dont think that the current PM business model aligns landlords and managers. 

This is the exact model I followed here in Chicago.

I know Redfin loves this since this is part of their model.

Multi-families can be hard to find.I see a ton of our clients here in Colorado kill it with a rent-by-the-room house hacking model.

Their business model is just like any insurance model.... take in the most $$ and pay out the least... its that simple.Keep reserves and find your owner repair companies to do business with...And it took 6 months and multiple companies and visits to even look at the filter?

I want to run by the biggerpockets world a potential new model I’m working on and I want to be clear this is not intended for self-promotional purposes or necessarily even something I will enact (i’m not even totally clear on the legally of this) but something I want feedback on and also to spark a discussion of alternative agent models.

For instance, they're opposites in terms of liquidity, physicality, age of the business model, volatility, etc., etc.  ...and, my impression is that they're also opposites in terms of the mindsets of the investors (e.g.; many RE investors have comparatively longer time horizons, and I would assume that most RE investors have a lower tolerance for risk).I'm a RE investor, and don't have any crypto, but I have plenty of friends who hold a lot of crypto, and we've discussed crypto endlessly...At the risk of sounding like a luddite, even after years of discussions and reading countless articles, I still don't feel like I have a good understanding of crypto.  ...and frankly, I'm skeptical of people who claim to have a thorough understanding of it (yet, there are no shortage of self-proclaimed "experts" who describe crypto with the confidence of someone predicting a sunrise!)

Family relocating or I'm doing research now to explore the rent by the room model

In my area, I've found this to be the best model (at least up until this point).
