There is a reason why the biggest builders in the world spend 2 to 3 million dollars for furnished models to sit and attract buyers.  

They can help you determine the best strategy for your business model and answer all the questions you asked above from a legal standpoint.

But I also notice this model sometimes takes years for the cost to increase which ties down capital.The second niche is the build/buy and hold.I want to base my real estate investment journey along this two niches.I will  be delighted if anyone with experience in this 2 niches guide me.Thank you

This is the model I follow, and will continue to till the end of time.

So, I'll model revenue and opex at somewhere between 2-4% and then put appreciation at somewhere a little bit less. 

It's attractive to some investors and some not, just depends on your model.

Hi everyone,I sat down yesterday to do my rental accounting for May, and I can't help but think the business model I've been following is scaleable, so I'm looking for guidance on taking my business to the next level (or not?).

The answer to your literal question is yes, there are plenty of stupid investors out there; the answer to your implied question is no, your business model is not a sound one.

For example, with the new billing model, total annual charges in fiscal year 2017 for a typical account with a 5/8-inch meter using 21 ccf of water per quarter would go from $892.48 to $922.56.

Typical performance is rather a good bit less, as it is in any kind of sales organization.The reason we have no competition is because those who would otherwise be in competition with us are reluctant to change a business model they find quite lucrative, even though it earns them a less than desirable reputation.
