Felicia,All good questions when I discuss options with my customers I typically look for highest rate with the most equity.

Quote from @Rod Smith: Hi All,i have a website that has been underperforming, but that is because I haven't put enough time and effort into learning more about SEO and done more to customize it.

Your clients are motivated sellers.You can NOT convert people who do not want to sell  (below market value) into people willing to sell below market value.The mistake people make (constantly) is their efforts are based on forcing non-motivated sellers to sell, by constant harassment.This is wrong.Instead of mass mailing blanket mailing,  and putting your energy in finding random people and forcing them to become motivated by putting a ton of effort and money into follow-up, you need to focus on targeting the RIGHT people.People who are actually looking for your service.Hopefully, it changes your perspective and you can improve your business.

All of my customers in NJ, NY, CT, CA, WA and other states are all buying in those states as well as a few others.The price to cash flow ratio is going to be better in those states as well as having a higher inventory of both single family and multifamily rental homes.

You are required however to have a license like myself if you are offing a service to customers.

Now that I'm a more experienced designer in real estate, I would love to customize my kitchen more with different materials, unique tile, and more unique pulls/knobs but having a large, clean kitchen was extremely appealing to me as a first-time buyer 4 years ago.

"Oh the customer insisted on buying the materials, it's not my fault"

That doesn't include any maintenance costs or other variables.I regularly argue that solar energy is rarely worth the investment.
