@Jay Check Are you a real account or is this just another promotion for a lying guru?

Quote from @Travis Timmons: My take is that if a fund has an influencer's name attached to it, they're core competency is promotion and fund raising rather than being a good operator.

There are small communities in Texas where the 3 or 4 small brokerages in town just keep a list between themselves or have created a Facebook group among themselves to promote their listings.I have run across a few Brokers over the years that just worked with buyers in the purchase of HUD/VA foreclosures and were not Realtors and therefore not members of a Board/MLSHowever, in any MLS that I have been involved with if the Broker is a member of the MLS, all of their agents are also required to be members. 

One thing that enticed me was the potential for higher rents by honing in on the SAFMR and the zipcodes.

Philadelphia has implemented various forms legislation over the years between abatements, land banks and density bonuses geared towards promoting development in areas that suffered from disinvestment and housing affordability challenges with some legislation having been more effective than others. 

One last thing, you can join a group on Facebook, specifically for wholesalers (legal) and promote your business.

In general, Cohan is overhyped by gurus who mis-promote it as a loophole for people who do not bother to keep records and receipts.

My guess is that the promotions feature will turn into a variable commission model in the future (20% Discount, Airbnb offers 10% to the customer and pockets the 10% in extra Commissions).

Cash flowing at 5% down was possible about 3 years ago—but that ship may have since sailed.Now, you’re left with two options: you can either pony up more cash per deal, or you can potentially look out of state for markets with more favorable rent-to-price ratios.Or…you can wait for rates to decline, but I don’t know how much a 100 or 150 basis point rate cut in the next year will really move the needle.That said, some firms (usually new construction companies, turnkey providers, etc.) will enter into forward commitments with lenders at institutional rates and then pass cost interest rate savings onto end buyers to entice them to purchase a property.

Instead, they get compensated by Turnkey providers or builders with a marketing fee:“…we as the turnkey property promoter gets compensated by and only by the turnkey provider or builder that we are working with, they are essentially paying a marketing fee,” ( Link ).
