We were out looking at a house near the same street and I asked my Realtor if he'd be willing to let us see it so we knew what the model looked like.

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).
