can easily tell you 90% of buyers would never to make it to closing without all the hand holding, and calming of fears, and all the stuff that technology cant do.you're saying I'm bias because I hang out on this site and know real estate transactions.I think you're bias because you hang out with only people who don't either way, my point is not that realtors will go away, simply that the 6% commission will. transactional cost and complexity is a barrier, but for the same reason: technology. my opinion is that once title policies go digital everything will change.

How do you advertise your vacant units?

For example, let's say that you have an 80k rehab budget, and that budget is broken down into four separate 20k chunks.With most hard money lenders, even if they advertise 100% rehab financing, you would be responsible for 'floating' that first 20k chunk; you would do the 20k of work, and then be reimbursed for that amount assuming the inspection goes well.It's something that you'll want to consider in calculating your capital outlay and cost.Hope this helps,Michael

Look for people/companies advertising "trash out" like for foreclosures and evictions and/or search for junk removal.

If you advertised the home touting its energy efficiency and low monthly electric bills, perhaps you could charge a higher monthly rent to recoup some of the investment, but that's a big "perhaps".

They have rental signs put around the property advertising so I made some rental signs advertising my units as well however the management company takes mine down.

@Solomon Nguyen I would recommend looking into passive investments and getting double digit returns with no work.

It also gives you the flexibility to advertise single apartments or the entire building to sleep large groups. 

They aren’t going to waste money on advertising if they are a scam.

I don't advertise the duplex as having central AC and it has its own clause in the lease.
