But if you want low cost, but still have access to that then it's great, as well as all the pyramid scheme programs involved with it :)Personally, I'll agree with @Dan Guenther, that the actual brokerage won't make a huge difference, it is more about who you surround yourself with.

Knowing that you'll have a good amount of eyes on the property at your ARV of $3.5M, I think you would be able to get it sold in a decent amount of time and save some holding costs. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Going to find seller financing deals with 0-10%, finding limited partners who want to double their money in 2-3 years and cover all cost, pure sweat equity.If i close on a multifamily thats worth $1m now, 10% down seller financing so bank isn't involved, after value add it's worth $1.5m, that's a 5x on cash.

After being involved in a business that owned real estate for 28 years and investing in real estate for the last 5 years I have a great relationship with many trades people.

We have always had very pleasant dealings without agents involved but if I was selling a property I would probably grudgingly use an agent so other agents would show the property.  

Make sure you're realisitic and looking at pure NET profit after all expenses, including taxes...When I initially set these goals, I was still in the "bright-eyed, bushy tail" phase of envisioning my future REI portfolio.

Your LP’s will need to be informed they are behind a hard money lender, what those terms are and the risk involved with being behind that hard money lenderDepending on the lender they could require you or one of the LP’s to also personally guarantee the loan.In most states if you have more than one LP then you would need to register the offering with the sec (most likely as an exemption) but docs and setup would probably be $10k.Can it be done yes, is it typically done for a deal under $1-$5M, typically no

Leverage magnifies return. 3) The effort involved in adding an ADU is comparable or larger than a rehab associated with a BRRRR.

I’m not sure how I would have don’t that part differently but I will say the hardest part of real estate (in my eyes) is dealing with contractors.
