Your earn it in this business and once you have some years in and your getting your business by referral like she does it does get easier at least on the marketing end she has not advertised in say 20 years all of her business just comes to her based on her quality of work with her clients. 2 years ago she was number one agent out of 600 HUNDRED agents and she does not have a team..

Is it the base fees, or is it the actual use?

Not disregarding wholesalers at all (I truly appreciate them and think they have a place in the market) but I feel yucky simply saying sell me your house for penny's on the dollar which is the primary reason for including the other options listed above.

Some will go with a nicer pad and a cheaper carpet.The nicer pad makes the carpet FEEL more expensive to the tenant when they walk on it.A great pad also resists wear and tear and if you need to replace the carpet the pad usually can be used again.Used to you would put a plastic membrane in between the carpet and pad to protect the pad but the plastic would slide and make noise sometimes.Now they have pads with built in protection.You are not looking for the cheapest product but the best VALUE for what you pay.It depends on the area and what kind of tenants and rent base you are working with.

We also have a ~$100/month tech fee that builds in all of the subscriptions we use for each property (Ring cameras, Minut sensors, Price Labs, etc.).

I'm sure that street by street dynamics can affect pricing, but it appears that there are a lot of good options for a much lower rent rate. 

I am leaving out cost to build and sale price because I am strictly looking for any actual data or reference on the component itself which should give me a base line and hold true in most markets. 

First impressions are everything, especially in a competitive market.The inventory of active listings has surged by 50.41% to 5,159 homes, providing more options for buyers.

I was just handed a partnership in a property that has 30% equity today and was given the option of owner financing at $1,000 a month with 0% interest for 10 years.
