The computer model looks at it this way.Example credit card limit 1,00075% or higher use 750 dollars takes a big hit to your score.Computer figures you are using up too much.50% 500 dollars average is a neutral score33% or below 330 average or below positively affect credit.You can change things on your credit and use a "rapid rescore" to update the results faster.Inquiries are one part.Inquiries initiated by you with so many in a certain time can affect you.Inquiries that are not initiated by you do not affect the score heavily.You can:1.Pay down all card balances below 33%2.Ask for a credit limit increase to increase available credit without paying down3.Ask for an interest rate reduction on your cards to lower monthly average paymentsIf you have many credit cards keep the longest trade lines open for better scores.If you have a bunch of little credit cards that are only a few months old like Gas Card,Macy's then get rid of those as too many trade lines hurts your score.If those trade lines are all you have then keep them.You would really have to post your tri-merge credit report to analyze all facets of it for improvements.

This is usually done with the model homes, but it might work in this situation also.

When they sell out a neighborhood, they sell the model and have to get rid of the furniture and decor, so you can probably pick some up pretty cheap.Ask the paint store if they have any mis-tint paint.

(Our neighbor sold their house at $590K last year and Zillow gives an estimate $625K now for our home since the models are all similar in our community.)

The PM works for the owner as does the GC, however, do you want to place the responsibility of color choices, which plumbing fixture to buy, which model ceiling fan to purchase, etc on the GC?

Because it validates their model as successful.

Where I've seen the membership model succeed is usually when there is a combination of free services and pay services where members see value.

Don't feel bad about failing the first time.Some of the best brokers/agents I know failed the first time.When I went and took the test in 2004 the class was multiple choice in GA.I passed that one and then went on to the state test.In class most of the questions are on the state level but then the state test has national questions as well.So I would go to Barnes and Noble and read the AMP(applied measurement professional) book on national questions and it really helped.In my state we have online and in class.In class is usually better as the instructor can explain answers and concepts plus previous students tell what kinds of questions were on their tests as the questions always change.Here is how I take multiple choice tests.Go through the questions one by one and answer the ones I am only 100% sure about.Then go back and start reviewing the other questions.You will now notice that by answering the first questions you knew you have no eliminated some of the choices of other questions.So If I had it between A,and B and B was eliminated from another answer I knew the question to I know A is the answer.Then lastly I would get down to a few instead of A,B,C,D and choosing one and having a 25% chance I have gotten it down to C,D and now have a 50% chance of getting it right.Doing it this way I went through the test 2 to 3 times and only ended up making an educated guess on a few.You don't want to spend too much time on one question as you will get flustered and every answer will start running together.There were people going to the agent state test that had failed 2 to 3 times already on the state test.I passed the first time since it was multiple choice.In my state when I took the brokers test years later it was MUCH harder.With my luck the brokers test used to be just multiple choice like the state with a few questions added.The year I took it they had just changed it completely.Now it was a complex modeling test.You had read long paragraphs of situations and you had 4 choices.There was not an correct and incorrect choice.Instead there were weighted choices.So you would have ones answer being the worst is -2 to the best +2 and in some questions you problem would have 4 parts to it each with 4 choices before moving to the next.Had really crazy crap in there you would never encounter.I prayed the whole time I passed that one.They didn't give you a score just a pass or fail and I passed.That was one of the hardest test I had taken as it was all judgement based on being the head broker.

If you set up your business model around this idea of getting "great" deals, you will have a long and successful career as a wholesaler.

The investor start by doing analysis and that analysis points him to a specific property that he believes would satisfy his investment model.
