Most of FCTD’s clients already using this pricing structure have 3-6 projects going at the same time. If they know that they can resell a property within 90 days, they usually go with the 1 Point at 12.00% option. If they plan an extensive renovation expected to take 8-12 months to resell, they tend to go with the 2 Point at 9.75% pricing.
