There are ways for a broker or servicer to charge a note holder for services rendered and lighten up on the cost of borrowing in a new loan, all playing within the rules, legally and ethically!

I wanted to get some renderings done so I could pre-market the property.

Nor do I think a property manager should not be paid for professional and consistent services rendered. 

Since THAT involves some kind of maneuvers that look too much like money-laundering (generating fake invoices that plastiq 'needs' to see, for services not really rendered, etc), I'm not doing that.  

Nothing is real, all their home photos are CGI renderings. 

And there is a price point at which, I believe, the cashflow renders all arguments null and void.

It's always a good choice to start with a drawing or a rendering of the proposed structure.

Allow the Home Designer to do a rendering of your desired home.

I see programs/techniques/strategies being promoted that were rendered obsolete by legislation 15 years ago and which there’s almost no chance of being able to pull off.  

Talk to city manager, zoning, city officials about what you want to do have 3-D renderings and 2d floor plan and elevations ready to show.
