If one disagrees with Zillow, its management, its business model, or whatever, the solutions seems staggeringly simple -- don't buy our advertising or ancillary products.

In my case I found STR model (both ways) to consume too much time and effort to continue with them so discontinued it.

Before the pandemic, my entire business model was based on flipping houses with investors, and then meeting the surrounding neighbors at the open house.

If you are going to have the coin laundry for future properties also put the camera cost in already to your expense numbers even if the seller doesn't have it.Your model will likely be different from how a current seller runs it.

I'm working on my business plan for wholesaling; specifically the financial model section.

I'd suggest that you evaluate the historical financial performance of the property and use that actual performance to create your financial model, and then see if you still think it's a great deal.If the 126 unit was built 30 years ago, it's probably class C or perhaps a B at best.

So my question is for those investing in the Turnkey model (such as myself).

Decide wrong and you've got an expensive dud on your hands.Once you do one though, then you can replicate the model and the process becomes easier.

Scott:If you are simply looking to analyse a property, create a budget or model cash-flow, then there are lots of spreadsheet templates available ... or, at least enough bits and pieces to get you started on building your own.If you want to keep the books of your business, then you will be best served to get a basic accounting package (QuickBooks, MoneyWorks, etc) even if you have only one property (at the moment).Ask your accountant if they have a preference as they will be more accustomed to importing data from certain packages into their system.

There is one on the market that's the same model as the one I have that's asking $738K.
