Density is your friend, but seek out how to best do it to create a desirable place, minimize you utility/road costs, and retain value throughout the development stages (if phased).  

I've retained a team to help me handle tax structuring. 

I’d need to borrow about 50% of the value of my current home to fund the remainder of the price of the new home, and would retain the current home as a rental.

Instead of denying them, can we refer them directly over to the owner for them to sign a lease with the owner who is willing to effectively manage the contract, payment and relationship BUT would still want to retain us (albeit for a lower fee) to deliver ONLY guest and property care activities (guest communications, organizing cleaning, lawn and pool care etc). 

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

The seller retains the mortgage on the home, wrapping the buyer’s loan into the existing mortgage.

It's a different landscape, one where traditional charm meets amazing opportunities, and where the savvy investor must navigate with both intuition and insight.One of the most notable trends I've observed is the emergence of new markets close to Branson.

Your analysis matched with my observation.

If I "share the deal" yes I make less on that 1 deal, but I retain Bandwidth for more volume, to act upon more opportunities.

. $3500 flat fee plus $350 retainer is just too much to give up when all I am asking for is to get it on the mls.
