Hidden markups
Pretty Boi Estates™ works deal-first, structure-first, escrow-first.
All fees are:
Modeled upfront
Reserved inside the recorded price
Paid through title at closing
There are no side agreements and no post-contract negotiations.
| Asset Class | Typical Fee Range |
|---|---|
| SFR / Corporate Stay | 1% – 2% of FMV |
| Multifamily (5–50 units) | 1% – 1.5% of FMV |
| RV Parks / MHP | 1% – 1.5% of FMV |
| Luxury Estates | 1% of FMV |
| Hotels / Casinos | 0.75% – 1% of FMV |
Fee must fit inside the capital stack without breaking seller payoff or NOI.
Use this before submitting a deal.
Example:
FMV = $2,000,000
Multifamily example (1.5%)
$2,000,000 × 0.015 = $30,000
✔ This fee is acceptable if income supports it
Recorded Price (45% FMV):
$2,000,000 × 0.45 = $900,000
Your $30,000 fee must fit inside that $900,000 alongside:
Seller payoff
Lender fees
Buyer salary
Ops reserve
Closing costs
If it fits → approved
If it breaks the stack → reduced or rejected
To get paid, submit all of the following:
Property address
Asset class
Current income (rent roll or proof)
Seller asking price
Your requested fee
Confirmation you control the deal
Incomplete submissions = no underwriting
Fee is disclosed day one
Fee is written into escrow instructions
Title disburses at closing
No delays
No excuses
If we close, you are paid same day
Most buyers fail because they:
Need credit approvals
Raise capital after contract
Fight over fees late
Pretty Boi Estates™:
Uses asset-based funding
Has fees pre-allocated
Closes through escrow-controlled disbursements
Speed comes from certainty, not pressure.
