I am curious to uncover how all the rest of the investors (and agents and brokers) here feel about real estate agents and real estate agent fees in today's digital age where we have so much information that we can dig up on our owns from: county records, mortgage/liens, previous purchase prices, land values, tax histories, rent price history and the advent of online listing services and other sources of real estate wholesale listings and auction agencies online.

If they cannot sign the lease digitally or otherwise make use of online tools, they'd better get a family member or friend to aid - otherwise they do not qualify to rent from me, as I'm leasing properties in 2025, not 1995.I find that you get from tenants (and people in general) what you accept.

Common structures I’ve seen:Convertible preferred equity – early investors get a premium return or the option to roll into project equity.Promote kicker – pursuit investors might get a small piece of GP upside once the deal goes vertical.High single-digit to mid-teens pref – depending on risk profile and timeline.Family offices and hospitality-focused private equity groups can sometimes write these smaller early checks, but often want strong reporting and transparency since pre-entitlement risk is real.If you already have a pipeline of 20–90 key projects, building a repeatable structure for pursuit capital can help you scale.Curious—are you targeting more institutional-style equity partners, or open to smaller JV groups / family offices who want a seat early in the process?
