Unfortunately all this investment has driven up home prices everywhere and to be honest I am not sure if most Philadelphians can afford to buy or even rent.  

Other than that, communication up front, honesty, and disclosing everything to the borrower regardless of how distasteful you think what you are disclosing to them will be.

The best answer is honesty: "We bought it from a company that provides phone numbers."

To be honest, I didn't do enough research on the refinance process.

I appreciate the honesty!

Most of the investors I deal with want a few simple thingsKnowledge of the #'s and if the deal makes since in a deep dive and do the underwriting Areas in which investing of time  on market to rent & true cash flow numbers in those areas not just computer generated averages.Brutal honesty if the unit is in decent shape.

To be honest I think the technology is cool.

Ok, not sure how to put all this so I will just go for brutal honesty. 

Honesty, I would probably enjoy helping them with these deals for them at no “cost” , but it’s rewarding to see they value this and want to make sure I’m equally compensated.- I am not an agent- if possible, I’d prefer more of compensation through equity in the deal, rather than a one time “service fee”, or margin through selling “turnkey”- if equity is not an option, maybe because my partners rather own the home entirely, could i charge a flat rate for my services?

Think of it this way, if you purchase a $300K home and keep a renter in it for 30 years, when you are ready to retire that home will be completely paid off and in all honestie would probably have appreciated to closer to $600K.
