For inspiration, I use Columbo as my role model.

@Don Carey My clients and I usually wish the Sellers well and tell them that, if they ever change their mind and want to take our offer, to give me a call and if we haven't already bought something else, we might be able to work out a deal. 2/3 of the time you never hear back from them, but sometimes you do.You know what you're willing to pay based upon your business model and stick to it.You as the Buyer have the right to offer what you are willing to pay.As the Seller, they have the same right to ask for what they want.Sometimes the parties come to agreement and sometimes they don't.You're not doing anything wrong.

Many pro's now only do this type of installation with the higher tank temps.I'd like to know more about the boiler. this setup can be really inefficient in the summer depending on the model and how it's implemented. 

The USGS also has some live stream web cams, like this one in Florence SC, that can be helpful when trying to gauge conditions at times like this when the Carolinas are experiencing widespread flooding. 

I would say that the model he teaches works in Colorado....but I suspect the market there is even more competitive than here in Texas. 

This is cheap with battery-powered materials, if your local code allows it, significantly more expensive with hard-wired models if your local code doesn't allow them.

Considering structuring a profit sharing model per project with a friend who is a general contractor.

I don’t think that this would be feasible due to the value add or forced appreciation component of the BRRRR strategy through rehab being missing in the standard turnkey model. 

I'm in the middle of creating a business model, defining my business, and doing all the leg work to secure financing for it and what not. 

I have heard of this model being used as a risk management strategy (keep no money in the PM LLC and if you ever got sued over a PM issue hopefully your agreement between your LLCs shelters the Property Owning LLC (and the equity in the properties) from the burden of the lawsuit.
