I thanked him, he took off, and he now has a grateful customer for lifeAppraiser: this was a surprise...last I heard he wasn't going to be out until late next week and I'd have to extend due diligence.

@Lorraine Patterson - I was a Vacasa customer then worked for them signing 80+ properties here in 14 months.  

Something I haven't seen mentioned here is that the customer service side of the business can be difficult for some home owners.

Just being a customer is enough to negotiate.

I need one that I can customize.

@Radhika ShahThis is all from the viewpoint of TX...CA rules and customs may vary.In TX you get your license then find a broker to hang it with. 

Worst off, when you go to find customers, nobody is going to want to drive that far out.

The bigger custom projects I do are what I enjoy the most and in terms of retail, are bigger ticket items. 

Also, take an objective look at the condition of your unit compared to others listed.Also, are your fees congruent with local custom? 

My business operates in San Francisco, and office rents are far in excess of what we can afford.We recently stumbled upon Workshop Cafe (https://www.workshopcafe.com/) where my team and I currently work.The business functions as co-working office space and coffee shop, allowing customers like my business to rent seats at $3 per hour.This is awesome for the following reasons:I can take calls without worrying about loud people or coffee shop music (a common Starbucks problem in SF).We only pay for the space when we use it.Workshop cafe has two locations and has proven they can be profitable with little scale (unlike larger competitors like WeWork).BP Community1) Have you seen any other innovate co-working business models?
