I was wondering if that was something people use for investment properties, or if it is only something homeowners utilize.

The properties over 130k seems to attract better customers so you will have an easier time qualifying and closing.

If you're dealing with a lot of custom residential projects (old houses, different architectural styles, etc.)... then it misses a good design opportunity to make your house really stand out and look as good as it possibly can.

If you pick up trash and sweep that means you're not paying a more skilled person to do so and that allows them to be better utilized or go home and be off the payroll.I agree that if you are not skilled (or young enough to begin acquiring skills) to stay out of the way.

I have always thought it is better to ask the customer what they want rather than sell them on what I want to give them.Thoughts on fees, flat rates, percentages?

Pat L. brought that up in his post.Loans are much better utilized in a C-corporation.
