My current model is purchasing, basic rehab, and renting.

So, in the end, I have a zero down cash flowing property.Structure - I follow the Rich Dad Poor Dad Advisers asset protection model.  

I have had a real estate investment model in my head for a while and would like to hear other peoples opinion on it, since there may be something I am missing or not seeing.

You have to understand Facebook's business model; they're a full-fledged advertising platform, and an extremely effective and relatively cheap on at that.

I want to set up my investment firm like a law firm; offering some of our biggest stars partnership positions in the firm and giving the rising stars the aspiration to become partners in the firm.My firm's primary business activity is:Raising private equityAcquiring real assets.What entity structure would be best suited for this model?

I did the same analysis several years ago, and decided a license did not improve my business model (yes, I gave up some potential commissions).

If you were to change the model slightly and put a rentor in that property intending to make it a rental and then later change your mind and sell then that would qualify.

Some of the customers are still in business at other locations.Try making an offer for 250 in cash, and a late model low hour Toyota forklift ($10,000 value) through a Realtor.I've pulled a wad of cash out of my pocket already and said "What, are you worried about losing a couple hundred in commission, I'll make it up"I've never seen people so afraid of hundred dollar bills in my life.

In any case, his model seems to be a good one, but I am so new to this I can't really say.

Many of the SoCal investors I know that are doing volume are willing to work on tight margins, make it up in volume and have probably been rewarded for having that business model over the last couple of years.Just be creative, cast a wide net and you should be able to get a couple deals with a bigger margin through harder work.
