They want to work with people who have the funds and not potential flakes who are trying some way off the wall transaction and structure that has an extremely tiny chance of every happening.If a broker/agent runs an efficient business model of transaction after transaction then that type of buyer working on a long shot is not their ideal client.

However, seeing the business model, and profit share opportunity, just made the decision for me.BTW, I had my first deal in escrow within 3 weeks of being licensed with KW.If you need an introduction to the proper people, just let me know. 

After a few months of education and learning the ins and outs of the model and the commercial multifamily industry, I started partnering up with more operators and building my network of investors.

I put 8 smoke alarms in my single-family rental - Lowe's sold a 6-pack of the model I used, and then I bought two more of the same model individually.Also note that if wired detectors are required, they may not all have to be exactly the same model, but they do probably all need to be from the same manufacturer. 

After the last crash, Private Equity companies were doing this with a flawed model so they saw great losses, these companies are trying to use a more refined model however I still see gaps, the big upside is if you gave people the option of using a well known brand like Redfin or using the stranger who direct mailed or cold called you, Redfin will win most of the time over for those who are on the fence or uncomfortable with the situation.

Also, their "accounting" portion is only for very very light expense tracking (and only if it fits their model - i.e. you cannot add any expense/revenue categories/accounts).  

But the rent I'm receiving fits my model, and the family can live their lives and not be upended.

What am I not understanding about this model?

I intentionally lost count of the exact cost of the divorce, but I know I could have a new base model Corvette in the garage for less money (I drive a 2014 base model silverado with 80,000 miles). 

The $35,000 Tesla Model 3 is rolling off the assembly line with 400,000ish backorders, and Chevy has a nice one for similar money.
