It’s possible I did a poor job of explaining this, this isn’t really a service for investors per se’ in fact I would probably in an ideal enjoy doing this more for primary home buyers, this to me is an alternative to the 2.5% commission model, you cut out the most time consuming and often in my opinion least valuable part of the job which is showing people around and opening cabinets and seeing if they are soft close or not lol (I presume in this new world there will be more open house, more showings by listing agents, possibly more services that allow buyers to show themselves houses like the Redfin does on some of its listing) because of that plus the guarantee of getting at least something for your time allows you to theoretically charge much less while still providing the important parts of the job, like you should consider this area, let’s go over this home inspection repost, here’s how we should craft an offer etc, even spending time explaining rent vs buy calculation and personal finance etc, plus the being able to be paid regardless of your advice, I’ve had countless clients who has just a myriad of bad ideas I’ve talked out of, but of course you don’t get paid for that in this commission structure.

Yes for my fund that I GP and for my personal investments we are leaning in to this soft-er market for buyers and pickup up great deals.

We made around $50K profit after soft costs.

The decor doesn't need to be expensive, she thrifts a lot of vintage pieces and orders the majority of soft materials and bedding/mattresses from Amazon, but you can feel the difference between a professionally catered home and a less curated space. 

You pay an annual fee of $3500, they do a soft credit check, then they give you a loan in monthly increments.

Naples / fort Myers in my opinion is a very soft submarket.

Plus, I have a soft spot for those old victorians. 

This is a very soft standard.

It would be a tough sell for sure, but you own the land and have put in for the soft costs, so that is helpful.

Remember soft costs like staging, appliances etc. in your numbers.
