Now why is it my car today gets less gas mileage than the Model T?

It must be something in the companys business model.

I had one guy come in 10 minutes late......flies up in a late model benz (wanting to rent a 2B/1B at $775/mo).

We changed and went to an affiliate model and then actively worked to recruit those affiliates.

Additional debt that can wreak havoc assuming your modeling assumptions are incorrect...so additional riskI tend to agree with you though.

I stopped working short sales as a business model last month.

That is pretty much my model.

He said he would then sign a two year lease on the unit to use as the model and cover my mortgage.

If I don't figure this out, my business model of buy and rent back preforeclosures is shot.

If you're just doing a directory type service I think your best model may be to offer free basic listings to build up content and traffic from tenants, then charge for extra stuff like 'featured listing', and photographs in the listing, etc.
