Curious to hear what strategies you have used to scale or what you plan to use so I can update my mental model. 

Full on student housing is definitely a unique model/approach.

At which point if the flip was thick enough, i wouldn't have any issue coughing up a higher incentive to play along.Very unique business model, almost could function like a builder..

You have to order oven racks based on the model and they cost $82.50 each.

Fundamentally, the problem is that the model allows for "lenders" to dump loans to GSEs with little or no skin in the game.

So in and of itself, neither model is better than the other, both have their pluses and minuses, but do your research before you decide to fork out a year's dues.

I have seen multiple threads where the source of problems with a property management company is the property manager leaving.I can't think of any other business models where the salesperson is also responsible for fulfillment--ensuring problems in service in the event of departure from the company.The staffing model where property manager A manages doors 1-100 and property manager B manages doors 101-200 is fundamentally flawed and leads to problems exactly like Marvin's.  

Many of us including myself talk about our strategies, styles, niches and business model on our website.

I guess I'd suggest the KISS model until you get to $10M in assets...  

I gave up spending money on a Dirt Late Model that I raced on weekends.
