Which model would you recommend for a budget conscious landlord?

You should really address this issue at the "business model level", so you don't end up giving the insurance company more than the need to cover what you really have at risk.

The last 5 properties were less than a week on the market until I accepted an offer, with multiple offers on 3 of them.My profit ranges from 18-22%Every market is different and every business model is different, but in my case it would be a waste of 3% profit to use a listing agent.

The lender bases the cash flow model off of the 12% vacancy and adding in so much per door for advertising for lending purposes because in case of default those are the numbers they expect the property to run at managing as an absentee owner.

Velocity is essential to their business model.

It's a hit or miss but from my point of view, unless it looks like a model home, it's better to go without furniture and try to take photos that puts the property in a light where it shows plenty of space.

IMO a model tenant like this should be worth something.

Fees are completely customized based on that particular company's business model.

For instance, I have used advice from Ryan Weber on wholesaling, from Nick Johnson on SHort Sales, and so on.Point is, there are several members who specialize in certain aspects and their advice on BP has been valuable to me.Did I change my entire business model?
