I work on the brokerage end of things with multifamily units, and our equity fund has implemented RUBS programs with larger buildings they have purchased, but it seems to me it would be hard to gain the economies of scale associated with the costs of implementing a RUBS program without doing this to a 30-35+ unit building.

I think the plan & idea you are trying to implementing is going in the right direction.

Submetering is just a more accurate but somewhat pricey way to implement RUBS.

We have some ideas for the website that will make it more useful to us which we will be implementing in the future.

It's a business decision plain and simple.It all depends on how you want to run your business.I get plenty of business with no discounting of my commission.People that want to wheel and deal or feel brokers and agents are "overpaid" I wish them the best and tell them to find someone else.Nothing personal it's just business.I would say to the discussion we are having here to TEST and TRACK the idea and IMPLEMENT it on a small scale in your local market.If you do 15 flips a year then if you have 2 flips in a month try it on one and not the other.If you get a ton of push back and negative results then you have your answer for your local market.I do the same thing in my marketing and ideas and test and track the results.

FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair is pressing the Treasury Department to use authority in the $700 billion financial-rescue package to implement the program to spur mortgage modifications.

Imagine, learn, but implementation is the most important thing.

I've spoken to several who've tried implementing Salesforce.
