I have built out my own real estate financial model, that I have let other investors vet and use on their own deals.

You could do some damage in Birmingham & the other markets I mentioned where the entry & cost of living is lower using this model. 

The more deals I analyzed, the more I refined my spreadsheet, the more accurate my calculations were getting.During and after my first deal I learned a bunch of stuff and further refined my model so my expected outcome would better match reality in the future.

That model seems to work really well for REIAs, so some of them may well survive.

I just started providing welcome baskets which work well for my business model: the food to refill it is about $7, they can easily be pre-assembled and stored onsite (or with my cleaning lady), and I fill it every 1-3 months for each unit because of the long-term stays.

I think Paynearme is the option that works best with my business model. 

BPers,We have traditionally done a good job of staying on budget and on time with our flips, but our last couple of projects have definitely pushed us to a point where we need to implement some new strategies to improve our model.

The wholetail model definitely appears to be the smartest move right now.

I connect with agents for expired listings, maybe the occasional “pocket listing “ where we would split the fee, help with compsIn Exchange, because it’s about giving more than we want to receive:Every lead I cannot work into one of my models, gets referred to a top agent in my marketHope this helps

The business model is three-fold:  Fix-flips, Rentals and note investing.
