Fundamentally, the problem is that the model allows for "lenders" to dump loans to GSEs with little or no skin in the game.

So in and of itself, neither model is better than the other, both have their pluses and minuses, but do your research before you decide to fork out a year's dues.

I have seen multiple threads where the source of problems with a property management company is the property manager leaving.I can't think of any other business models where the salesperson is also responsible for fulfillment--ensuring problems in service in the event of departure from the company.The staffing model where property manager A manages doors 1-100 and property manager B manages doors 101-200 is fundamentally flawed and leads to problems exactly like Marvin's.  

Many of us including myself talk about our strategies, styles, niches and business model on our website.

I guess I'd suggest the KISS model until you get to $10M in assets...  

I gave up spending money on a Dirt Late Model that I raced on weekends.

I am in the early stages of developing my business model/strategy and basic structure of the business.

So this model is only good in either high income areas or if you use a lot of equity.

Since some markets are different from the 70% model, I'm just wanting to make sure I'm on track here in the Dallas market.The reason I am conducting this survey is that I want to make sure that I only get deals that will work for investors and have back up to support my offers.

I'm always willing to spend an extra $1500 in order to get a quick sale, a buyer who never second-guesses his decision during the closing process, and agents who ask us to PLEASE let them know the minute we have more houses on the market -- in fact, it's a no-brainer.Throw in fact that appraisers are always very impressed with the extras we throw in -- and keeping appraisers happy is worth thousands in my book -- and the benefits are even more obvious.So, in my opinion, for any house that will likely go to a first-time homebuyer, a fridge (and everything else that makes a house truly move-in ready) is a must-have...Just my business model...
