The city is very open to this setup, with a clear permit process: $500 initially, plus a $100 inspection fee.

@Bill Schrimpf I work at BiggerPockets and would love to set-up a time to connect.

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

Later in the day, I was set up with a call with Peter because we raised concerns about paying $10k–$15k upfront, especially since we’re supposed to be “partners” in these deals.

Plan accordingly so you are set up appropriately. 

I'd say the standard is more than 15-25% with a listing setup fee.

If you want to setup a time where we can talk, message me.

If people are looking to set up a MTR it is very misleading and if someone is looking for a place it also matches even if your property is too far from the major city that is searched resulting in leads that aren't really a match. 

Definitely is more work to get things set up however.

I then went and set up a payment plan to pay the property taxes.
