Also, in our experience, 95+% of agents have no clue how to calculate ROI, Cash-on-Cash, Cap Rate, etc., so what are they really going to help an investor with?

I also believe, but cannot yet prove that Spark has earned remuneration for putting together the group of investors in that if they are buying a $50,000 share from a promoter they remit some amount less than that and receive the full share giving them a "share" of the LLC they created to hold everyone's funds.

It seems like you have a reasonable down payment available so offer them a reasonable interest rate. 

As a bit of fore sight, My business partner and I plan to scale the business to have employees.I am currently paid through my llc for selling homes, but the issue is that when I am to be paid for services of property management, the funds have to pass through my managing broker's office. 

I have databases consisting of 1,341 lenders for RE as well as close to 20,000 contacts at family offices, hedge funds, endowments and pension funds. 

What makes people prefer airbnb than hotel these days, especially the rate of hotels are relatively competitive (airbnb becomes more expensive than it used to be), i.e. is it still a viable business for the most part? 

The last one I purchased was right at the peak in March of 2022 and when rates started to rise.

Either could make you more money but dependent on market conditions, location, timeline, roadbumps, rates, etc..... 

Good luck and let me know if I can assist you and your clients with their funding needs!

For example, we discussed the interest rate, looking for good terms that fit with our long-term financial plan.
