@Matthew Stapleford I would be happy to collaborate with you if you bring a deal to the table.

Just wanted to mention my latest deal (and will track updates), as it was another collaboration between several BP members.  

Many like @J Martin and @Brandon Turner are open to AirBnB types of offering, but will progressive landlords take the next step and start using/offering ZipCar, TaskRabbit, and other tools in the Collaborative Economy to increase profitability?

This will also be a great way to connect with other real estate professionals, network, collaborate, etc. all while saving on transaction fees.Compensation Plan (Personal Use)70/30 commission split on the purchase$500 listing fee on the saleCompensation Plan (General Buyer/Seller Rep)70/30 buyer agent commission split 70% selling agent commission split*Agents responsible for their own advertisingIf you would like more information, and think you good be a good fit for Great Homes Realty, LLC, private message me.Thank youDaniel SaundersGreat Homes Realty, LLCS&P Properties, LLCsandproperties.com

While the house flipping I'm doing is more short-term oriented and opportunistic (unique opportunity to collaborate with a friend), with all of the others that I've mentioned here, my focus is on long-term results, and on beating the results I'd get by investing the money in equities (historical rate of return of 7%).For all of these, I'm happy with a 10+ year investment timeframe.So you're suggesting IRR/MIRR, which makes sense. 

And on a practical level, the last thing I want to do is develop the brand as a potential buyer as "hey, that's the name on all of those horrible lowball offers".My point is that I think it can become a more collaborative relationship but it's super hard to develop that when you have zero history with the realtor, zero history of closing on a property, etc. 

I would welcome any introductions from anyone interested in working together and collaborating.

I'm mainly looking for a good communicator comfortable with collaboration. 

I know you know this and just mentioning it to collaborate and help you vet things out.

I look forward to getting feedback from the community and perhaps meeting up for lunch or coffee to collaborate.
