Often, owners beat up PMCs for a low price, but fail to understand the PMC will often cut corners to make sure they are still profitable. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Educate the land owner on the potential profit run the numbers and go over the basic proxy and blue prints.Make sure you have a seasoned and qualified Builder/GC because they can be a deal killer with wasted time and inflated material and extended completion dates.

For bigger jobs I have went with the "Have it delivered and I will cut the money to the driver".

Some people look at PM fees as “wasted” or something they could do themselves.

Total waste of time company.

It will help you with a lot of people who will waste your time. 

Just so you know, Vrbo and Airbnb will not allow you to receive an inquiry through their platforms, and then take the booking off-platform, they want their cut of the money. 

By wasting it on the DP you tie that money up for years.

Focus on the big moves: security, renovations, and cutting dead weight.
