There are new pre-fab firms doing exciting stuff with innovative designs:http://methodhomes.net/http://www.projectfrog.com/There seem to be a lot of benefits such as building in a controlled environment, cutting down construction time (which mean getting to market faster, lower construction loan interest, etc.), faster permitting.

They even give you html code to cut and paste into craigslist:-) Pretty slick looking posts, too:-)

I like the cut of your jib young man because it sounds like my plan.

The bottom line is this. take gross rents, cut em in half and take any debt service out of that.

I see that corporate rentals are usually apartments, I can try to experiment with single family homes for corporate rentals, I'm thinking everything included (utilities, grass cutting, etc). 

I do not know your area there but for a rough area an 8 cap doesn't cut it and neither does a 10 cap.

You can use that, but cut the cost in half. good luck!!

As far as this business goes all I'm looking to do is find buyers and sellers and make a cut.

What if someone cuts you off while driving and you cause a car accident (even though someone else is at fault)?

Since my original contract had no terms for a broker/agent I basically paying them out of kindness and could have just cut them out completely but if it helps my end buyers I was willing to do it.
