The numbers in writing. Comps, defensible ARV, line-item rehab range, every exit compared. Delivered in 72 hours. Credited in full toward any package within 30 days.
CLOSER for a creative structure, BUILDER for a fix and flip. We run the file from there.
Most people start at step 3. If your deal is already under contract and your numbers are solid, you can start at step 4 instead, and the analysis is included.
Strategy call
Every engagement begins the same way.
Strategy call
“Am I about to make a mistake?”
Cost of skipping it. You find out in month four what a conversation in week one would have told you.
Send us the deal first. Address, numbers, what you're trying to do with it, where you're stuck. We read it before we get on the phone, so the call is thirty minutes of direction, not thirty minutes of you explaining.
You will leave knowing whether the deal is worth pursuing, what structure fits, and what it would take to finish it.
What this call is not.
We will not pull comps or scope the rehab while we are talking. That is real work and it takes 72 hours. If you want numbers you can hand a lender or a partner, that is ANALYST, and we will tell you on the call whether it is worth doing.
The intake form is required. We don't take calls cold, reviewing the deal first is what makes the call worth your time.
Takes two minutes. The calendar opens as soon as we have the deal.
This is the first call, and it happens before any work begins. If you move into a package, the review call that comes with it is a separate conversation, after the deliverable is in your hands.
Step 1 of 2: Tell us about the deal
Deal intake
Required before booking. This is what we review before the call, the more you put here, the more the thirty minutes is worth.
* Required
No live deal yet, or just have a question?
Email us
and we'll point you in the right direction. The call is for live deals.
Step 2 of 2: Pick a time
Pick a time
Intake required
Fill in the intake form above and the calendar opens right here.
We read the deal before the call. That's what makes the
30 minutes worth having.
We're opening five files at 25% off for investors already doing deals. In return, once your file closes or your ANALYST lands, you give us a short published review: your name, your market, and what the work did for you. Numbers only if you approve them in writing.
Spots go to live deals that fit. Send yours through intake and we'll tell you on the call if it qualifies.
Standard payment terms apply at the founding rate.
The 25% applies to per-deal package fees only. It does not apply to add-on services.
Founding clients receive a discount in exchange for a review. Reviews reflect their own experience.
Per-deal packages
Pay for the piece the deal actually needs.
Most services pick up at the executed contract and stop at the closing table. We start before you are under contract and stay through the exit. Underwrite it, coordinate it, scope the rehab, level the bids, hand you a clean file. One flat fee, and we never take a cut of your deal.
Two ways in.
If your deal is a creative structure, start with CLOSER. If you are buying, renovating, and selling, start with BUILDER. Not sure which, book a call and we will tell you in ten minutes.
Flat fee, no cut. We never take a cut of your deal.
ANALYST
The numbers
“Should I do this deal?”
Before you lock it up.
Cost of going without. A rehab number that's $40k light turns a $50k profit into a loss, and you find out in month four.
Comparable sales and defensible ARV
Rehab scope and cost range
Exit analysis across flip, BRRRR, wholesale, and creative
Maximum allowable offer and walk-away number
Structure recommendation, which creative method actually fits
Red flag, title, and structure concern review
Lender-ready and partner-ready PDF deliverable
72-hour turnaround
30-minute review call after delivery, to walk the finished numbers
Bench. Named lender, title, and vendor recommendations for this specific deal and market.
This is a different conversation from the free strategy call. That one scopes the deal. This one walks the finished numbers.
$297per deal
The lowest-risk way to start. If you go further within 30 days, this is free.
Founding rate $223
Paid at engagement. Credited toward any package within 30 days.
CLOSER
…and someone to close it
“Can someone get it to the table?”
You bring it under contract. We run it to funding.
Cost of going without. Creative files die in escrow at a rate nobody advertises, and the earnest money goes with them.
Deal analysis included. Defensible ARV, line item rehab range, every exit compared, and a structure recommendation before you commit. Not an appraisal.
Full transaction coordination through funding. Escrow opened, title ordered, every deadline tracked, signatures chased, lender and title coordinated, closing scheduled. Any structure.
Insurance coordinated on both ends, including the policy you have to cancel. A standard policy on an empty house under construction is close to worthless, and a lender asking for a binder does not check which kind it is. We coordinate with your insurance agent so you close with coverage that fits the property's real condition, and on a subject-to or wrap we handle cancelling the seller's existing policy and chasing the refund once yours is in force.
We are not an insurance agent or broker, we do not sell or place insurance, and we do not advise you on coverage, limits, or carriers.
Day one work readiness. Power, water, rekey, lockbox, and trash service scheduled, and permit status confirmed, all before you close, so your crew works the morning after closing instead of waiting on you.
Lender draw process set up before you fund. Your lender's draw requirements mapped, inspection process understood, and your first draw request ready to submit the day you are eligible. First draws slip two and three weeks when nobody walks the process in advance, and that is carrying cost.
Close-out file at closing. One document: what closed, at what numbers, every document on the file and where it lives. Built for someone filing taxes on more than one project.
Written status as the file moves, and most messages answered the same or next business day.
Bench. Warm introductions made for you, and title placement. We take the file to a company we already know closes your structure.
$1,495flat, any transaction type
Founding rate $1,121
Half now, half at closing. Balance waived if the deal dies.

BUILDER
…and the rehab tracked against the number
“Will the rehab hold to the number?”
You bring it under contract. We run the file, build the rehab plan, and track it against the number.
Cost of going without. Contractors bid against a vague scope, change orders land in month two, and the holding costs eat the spread.
Before the rehab starts
Scope delivered within 3 business days of the walkthrough. Bids leveled within 2 business days of the last bid landing. Contractor response time is theirs, not ours.
Detailed line-item scope of work, built from a guided video walkthrough, your photos, and the inspection report if you have one
Your scope sent to up to three contractors, priced line by line on our bid template
Bids leveled side by side, so you see which bid actually matches the scope and what the cheap one leaves out
Rehab budget with contingency
Draw schedule and milestone map
Material and finish level recommendations by exit strategy
Timeline with critical path
Deal analysis included, the same one ANALYST delivers
Full transaction coordination through funding, any structure
While the rehab runs, for 60 days
One written rehab status each week, built from photo and video updates requested from your contractor
Budget versus actual tracker, updated weekly, with variances flagged to you
Draw packages organized for your lender: completed line items, photos, invoices, and lien waivers
Change order review with a written recommendation before you approve anything
Schedule slippage flagged early, with options for you to decide on
Close-out file at completion: what was built, at what numbers, every document and where it lives
A warm introduction to a listing agent in your market when you are ready to sell, and we take no referral fee for it
What we need from you
A video walkthrough on our call, or access for someone who can do one
Access for contractors to walk the property
Your approval on the final scope before it goes out for bids
Your contractor's weekly photo and video updates during the rehab
How it works when you're not local
We never need to stand in the house. You, your agent, or a contractor walks it on a video call while we direct room by room. Local contractors walk it in person and bid our scope. We build, level, and track everything from there. Where we have contractors on the bench in your market, we source the bids. Where we don't, you bring them and we level them.
You and your contractor run the job. We keep the plan, the numbers, and the paperwork current so you always know where the rehab stands.
Bench. Contractor sourcing and bid solicitation in your market.
$3,995flat
Founding rate $2,996
Half now, a quarter when the scope and budget land, a quarter at closing. Closing balance waived if the deal dies.
Started with ANALYST on this deal? Your fee is credited here.
Coordination $1,495Rehab scope and budget $3,250$4,745 separately. $3,995 together.
Those are per-deal prices. Past about ten files a year the math changes, and you are really comparing us to a hire: a coordinator runs about $3,700 a month before taxes and benefits, and still leaves the analysis and the rehab plan on you. Tell us your volume and we will price the pipeline instead of the file.
Deals fall apart. Sellers back out, title turns up something ugly, financing evaporates in week three. ANALYST is paid up front. CLOSER is billed half at engagement and half at closing. BUILDER is half at engagement, a quarter when the scope and budget are delivered, and a quarter at closing. That structure is the answer to this.
Why we bill it this way. The deposit pays for work that happens the moment you engage, the analysis, the scope, file setup, and title placement. That work gets done whether or not the deal survives, which is why the deposit is non-refundable. The balance is tied to closing, so if the file doesn't close for reasons outside your control, the balance is waived.
The balance is still due if you close the property anyway, replace us mid-deal, or break the agreement.
ANALYST
Paid up front because the deliverable is the whole product. You get the comps, the ARV, the rehab range, and the structure recommendation whether or not you buy the property. It is yours to use on this deal or the next one.
BUILDER
The scope of work, the budget, the draw schedule, and the timeline are yours regardless. Take them to the next property, or hand them to a different contractor on this one.
CLOSER
The back half is due at closing, so if the file doesn't close for reasons outside your control, the balance is waived. Everything produced up to that point is yours to keep: the document set and the title work.
What you keep. Every deliverable we have finished when the deal dies is yours, in full, with no restriction on how you use it. There are no refunds. The deposit has already paid for work performed, and there is nothing further owed.
What it costs to build this yourself.
Most investors don't compare us to software. They compare us to hiring.
If you hire it out
What it runs
What's still on you
An offshore real estate VA
$1,100 to $1,900 a month
Training, turnover, and checking every task they touch
An in-house transaction coordinator
About $3,700 a month in salary, before payroll taxes and benefits
One person, one skill. The analysis and the rehab scope are still yours
A licensed TC, per file
$750 to $1,000 a file
Coordination only. The analysis and the rehab scope are still yours
An automation or AI agent setup
Usually a setup fee plus a monthly retainer
Maintaining it, checking its output, and every judgment call on scope and bids
Flat fee, no cut. Nobody to hire, nobody to train.
Ranges reflect published 2026 market rates and are shown for comparison only. Your costs will vary.
A deal needs more than coordination. It needs money, a title company that won't flinch at the structure, a contractor who shows up, insurance that survives a subject-to, and somebody to service the note after closing.
We keep a bench of all of it, nationwide. Depending on how you work with us, you get the name, the introduction, or we handle the whole setup and you never make the call.
Funding
Transactional funding for double closes, earnest money, gap funding, DSCR and long-term takeout for BRRRR exits.
Companies that actually close subject-to, seller finance, wrap, and hybrid files, market by market.
Contractors and trades
Vetted GCs and subs in the markets we work.
Insurance
Coverage that holds up on creative structures.
Entity and land trust formation
Attorney referrals only. We point you to the right people and make the introduction. We don't structure or file anything ourselves.
Loan servicing
Third-party servicing setup so you're not collecting payments yourself.
How this works.
The bench is the same list of people no matter what you buy. What changes is how much of the legwork is ours.
At the lightest level, we tell you who to call. Above that, we make the introduction and hand over your file context so you're not starting from zero. Higher still, we place the file with a title company we already know will close your structure. At the top, we collect the documents, open the accounts, and stand up servicing while you approve.

Named recommendation
We tell you who to call for this specific deal in this specific market. Not a directory. A name.
Warm introduction
We make the connection and give them your file context, so you're not starting from zero on the phone.
Title placement
We take the file to a company we already know will close your structure. This is the step that saves most creative deals, and most investors don't find out they needed it until escrow stalls.
Full setup handled
Documents collected, accounts opened, servicing stood up. You approve, we execute. Entity and land trust work goes to an attorney. We make the introduction and coordinate around it, but we don't form or file anything.
Most bench introductions are made at no cost. Where Exit First is compensated by a vendor, that is disclosed on the page where the referral appears. See EMD and transactional funding. Exit First is not a lender and does not provide legal, tax, or insurance advice.
Additional services

Service
Price
Rehab scope and budget build, on its own
If you already have a coordinator and only need the construction side. Line-item scope, bid leveling, budget build, draw schedule, timeline, and 60 days of rehab tracking. Includes one round of bids from up to three contractors; an additional bid round after a scope change is $250. Covers rehab budgets up to $100,000; above that, scoped on a call.
$3,250
Loan servicing
For subject-to, wrap, and seller-financed deals. We select the servicer, prepare the boarding package, board the loan, confirm the payment schedule and escrow handling, set up the payment portal for both sides, and stay on the account until the first payment clears correctly. On a subject-to or wrap, the underlying loan staying current and documented is the whole exposure, and this is the setup that makes that possible. Not included: making the payments, which are yours, and utility transfers, tax record retrieval, insurance placement, or any audit or compliance review. We will point you to the right resources for utilities, and your title company can provide tax records.
$1,100
Files received under 14 days to closing, or after a missed deadline, carry a $300 rush fee. Anything not listed here is quoted on the strategy call.
Pricing shown is current and informational. The Engagement Order you sign for your file is what governs.
