@Alex Pendleton when you say cashfliw on the cape, I automatically assume weekly rentals, but I would be interested to hear more about your business model out that way.The cape isn't too far from Fall River where most of my portfolio currently is, but I am not sure if I could convince my property manager to go that far, lolDo you self manage?

.- Nearly always (unless your home is like a staged new construction model home) staging - meaning even if you have your own items in the home, usually moving things around, removing some, replacing others with rental items if the original items make the rooms look too small or dated, adding/replacing decor and art work, making sure flow and decor maximize space and positive features, repainting walls if the paint color is lowering appeal.- Same concept for outside.- Professional grade photos.- Pricing that takes into account your home's unique features, which could mean going higher or lower than just lumping it in with the mix of comps that appear to be similar.This is agent specific and not necessarily related to a specific company, I see high end 'premier' listings poorly marketed by mainstream traditional companies sometimes and some 'budget' agencies where the agent just did a great job with this stuff. 

Most management companies would not allow this hybrid marketing/processing model, for fear of noncompliance with fair housing (usually it's not intentional but accidental and due to incomplete understanding of all the ways you can get into hot water) as well as the added complexity.

Using this model, you will pay between $40-$65k per property.

That is a typical arbitrage business model that works well.

A huge thing that I found out - most of them work off a reimbursement model.

Is there a hybrid model you use where you manage key aspects of your apartments while also using a property management company for other local hands on needs?

I’d like to follow the BRRR model but not sure where to start.

Now I know hughes net has a newer satellite network than what I ran on for years but I will tell you their business model.  

3) Would you sell lots prior to a model being built?
