I've been an AirBnB host for 3 years now, as the costs are all over the board.

My guess is National Speaker comes in to sell their program and the local guru gets a cut of the club that buys. 

The National average cap rate for multi-family properties was 5.5% while Nashville's average was 6%. 

I offered to pay the difference of what it actually cost him and 3months rent (so if billed labor was $3k, I’d just pay the GC $150).Reasons why I like this:-Building rapport with this GC and his businesses-I get my reno done professionally at a heavily discounted price or potentially free-unit was going to sit empty anyways during my deployment, but now has a handy guy living in it-short term deal with the GC, at most I would sign a 6 months contract and charge the actual amount beyond the cost of renoThings I am getting done:-Laminate floors install and base boards-Cosmetic touch ups in bathroom (to include dry wall)-new front door/frame install-putting up ceiling fans -replacing cast iron pipes for sewer linesWould it be a good deal, all things considered?

@Chris ClothierThe PM through REI Nation seems pretty amazing.

@Shaye Steele I'd recommend checking out several brokerages both national names and small local companies. 

When we are on-boarding a new investor for our properties, we ask them what would make them excited to be in the deal.
