Hey Patrick - we are targeting more sophisticated investors who will appreciate our approach to help them drive NOI margin and make informed buy/sell decisions.  

I know I could have a family member co-sign a mortgage with me but not sure the best way to approach that conversation and what incentives I’d be able to offer to make it worth while for them other then their “familial duties” haha. 

The numbers really drive the point home—85 people moving per year within our network is a huge opportunity that most agents and investors overlook.I love the structured approach you laid out, especially the focus on asking for referrals instead of direct business.
