Some buyers don't want your tenants who may or may not have been screen properly but some buyers like the attraction of having income on day one. 

If your market has a significant number of FHA or VA loans with zero to low down payments where a buyer can't afford to pay their agent out of pocket, your sellers may end up cutting off a significant portion of the home buying market, or once they do come around to considering negotiating on BAC, they may feel deceived, and now you may lose the potential for the recurring client that will ultimately otherwise drive your seller lead acquisition cost down.For planning: In a great business, a good rule of thumb is to estimate:100% Gross Income35% Cost of Sale30% Expenses35% Profit <-- very few businesses achieve this, but we're looking at an ideal solutionAssuming a national price average of $300k and 0.6% GCI, you'd be looking at:$1,800 Gross Income$630 Cost of Sale <-- agents/ transaction coordinators$540 Expenses <-- photos/ signs/ lockboxes/ Errors & Omissions insurance/ MLS fees/ liability insurance/ tech fees/ VA admin support/ marketing to get clients for the business (this piece should be roughly 10% of revenue, which would be $54 in this case)$630k ProfitIf your business sold 1,000 of these homes a year, you would have:$1,800,000 Gross Income$630k Cost of Sale <-- agents/ transaction coordinators (you could have 5 agents handling 200 sales each at $100k incomes and TC support at scale)$540k Expenses <-- photos/ signs/ lockboxes/ Errors & Omissions insurance/ MLS fees/ liability insurance/ tech fees/ VA admin support/ marketing to get clients for the business (you're going to est $125k in runner fees alone for signs; $25k+ in signs, $54k in ads to attract clients, $200k in photos, $10-20k minimum in E&O, $2k in liability, and what tech/ VA support)$630k Profit Scale costs will include hiring a managing broker for compliance to help oversee all of these transactions and implement legal changes and training.

@Ben ClingerHi Ben, I just noticed your post.Toledo just clarified their inspection criteria for section 8 houses and decided they wanted their cake and to eat it too...we don't have to have an interior inspection (since LMHA inspects that during their inspection), but we DO have to pay for a Lead Inspector contractor to visually inspect the exterior of the house and of course we DO have to pay the $45 fee (which is of course what this is all about).LMHA of course inspects the outside of houses along with the inside so the whole lead inspection is redundant.

Temple now attracts students from more affluent backgrounds in the Philadelphia suburbs (kudo's to the school for raising it's academic reputation).

., which creates a great opportunity to leverage real estate for attracting travel nurses and other medical professionals.

LTR, MTR and STR work in most larger markets (~top 30-40 cities by pop, or be proximity to metros/attractions/employers).

Wholesaling seemed like a manageable way to enter the real estate space while learning and growing.I’m particularly interested in the advice about creating an online foundation to stand out and attract motivated sellers.

Also having a higher proportion of revenue generated through the residential component of the building does make financing easier. (3) The exception to the 80% rule I abide by is when the commercial space is leased to a credit tenant with a proven & sustainable business  or where the space presents the opportunity to attract a neighborhood amenity F&B operator (this is most beneficial in instances where you have a larger localized portfolio where these commercial tenants can positively impact the value of your overall residential portfolio).

I’ve heard that Eddie provides his students with attractively priced partially pre-vetted note opportunities, advice and access to his relationships.
