This is because their business model is different, and they have far less repair costs (usually).So we just tell them  that we can either buy it as a flip or we can put the house under contract and  see if the B&H investor would be interested in buying said contract.They will likely get a higher offer if they went the wholesaling route.more often than not they rather pick us to wholesale... and why not?

Really hope to hear input,  my first house was a new construction model.

Over the next year or so I think we're going to find out who has sustainable business models and who was riding the wave of good fortune. 

From my perspective, if you want to rent to a dentist, you have to have at least a cursory understating of their business model and basics of business, like profit vs cash flow, revenue streams, their cash cycle.

It wasn't an overnight conversation and the first few years I went at it quasi-alone to prove out my model. 

The long-term managers business model is more stable in a down market.

I feel I may be estimating these costs incorrectly, which is throwing off my Cash on Cash ROI percentage in the models.

@John Cameron if you don't have capital, you'll have to become adept at raising it, so the syndication model (pooling investor's money together to buy larger assets like apartments) might be a good route to pursue.

I would save 25%  and follow this model  as well.

There is a business model referred to as a HUB which too is unmanned so long as the packages don't need to be signed.
