As you gain experience you can tackle more creative ventures but there's no reason to complicate the model.

If I decide to sell the CFD then part of the note sale will be satisfaction of the first lien and otherwise structured as described by Finance.Viable Business Model?

A HP computer, exact stuff on it, model 12345, the other store has the same computer, but modle 56789, so they are not exact and won't accept them.

My model is a bit different.

My ARV is based on a half dozen or so comps 2 of which are the same model on the same street or a couple of streets over that sold for over 160K.

He and have a business model similar to what you have described.It seems to me though you'll want to have a better reason than the ability to access the MLS.

I try to keep a running model in place where you continue to use all or most of the cash flow coming in from your properties to pay down your HELOC as FAST as possible.

I think the one note model follows the KISS principle.

Without writing a 1,000-word post, my feeling is that you may have a harder time going this route as opposed to using a full-service listing agent.First, I think you're prone to get more low-ball offers, because buying agents will think you're not very sophisticated.Second, I think some agents will not work hard to show a flat-fee listing because (1) they think this kind of seller is unreasonable and tough to work with (it's a sign you're trying to milk every dollar from the house), and (2) I think some full-service agents are a little concerned that their high-priced business model is in jeopardy, and they're not going to help anyone who uses a flat-fee service.If you insist on going the flat-fee route, you might consider offering a 4% fee to the buyer's agent (or some other bonus).

My business model is to hold the properties I find, but recently I have agreed to sell to family members and some close friends.
