This is my first response and I hope that something I post either reinforces that you are on the right track or makes you think.You need to develop a model that can be used to evaluate deals like this and quickly. 

I think it's always a good idea to take a step towards managing instead of doing the work yourself, you can produce so much more with that model.

There is always money to be made in any market, you just have to use the right model with the right timing and factor in historical information and trends, especially if you are buy and hold.

Their model was utilized by countless funds in countless markets (e.g.

We modeled a 7.5% vacancy rate and a 10% maintenance fee (both off gross rents) but our economic occupancy has been much worse and it's closer to 15% vacancy expense and 15% maintenance fee.

I have not wholesaled or worked with wholesalers but certainly understand the model. 

Everybody just has to find their niches and become the best at them.agreed where I see sub too get very wonky is the no money investor gets into a deal that barely cash flows.. tenant stops paying the underfunded investor cant make the mortgage payment the mortgage is in the original sellers name and their credit gets trashed.. there is a lot of abuse in that model.. but for property capitalized companies its a good way to control property..

Different models for different people. 

Yeah,  eager to see what kind of business models are derived by this innovation.  

The marketplace model is a tough two-sided problem to solve for any endeavor.
