BNB Accelerator does not publish a fixed service price. The fee depends on the scope agreed for a client, and you should ask for the exact amount, payment schedule, deliverables, and cancellation terms in writing before you commit. The acquisition service fee is separate from the money you invest in the property.
There are three budgets, not one
- Service fee. Ask which work is included: market research, property sourcing, underwriting, transaction coordination, design direction, launch support, and introductions to independent vendors. Clarify which activities are performed by BNB Accelerator and which by third parties.
- Property entry cash. Count the down payment, lender and title charges, inspections, insurance deposits, immediate repairs, furniture, photography, permits, and listing setup. See the full entry-budget example.
- Operating reserves. Keep cash after closing for a slow ramp, seasonal losses, deductibles, maintenance, and replacement items. A deal that spends every dollar at launch has little room for error.
Questions to get answered on a pricing call
- What is the total service fee for this scope, when is each payment due, and are any amounts refundable?
- What deliverables will I receive before I must approve a property?
- Which outside costs are excluded, including broker, lender, design, management, CPA, insurance, and cost segregation fees?
- Who chooses and pays each vendor, and are there any referral fees or other financial relationships?
- What happens if no suitable property is found within the expected timeline?
These questions are more useful than comparing a service fee with a projected first-year return. Forecast cash flow is uncertain. An engagement agreement and a property-specific sources-and-uses schedule are documents you can inspect before signing.
How to compare the service with doing it yourself
Put the written service fee next to the actual tasks it replaces. Estimate what you would pay separately for data, sourcing, transaction help, furnishing coordination, and launch work. Also consider the time you can realistically devote and the decisions you still retain. Do not assign a made-up hourly value to your time merely to justify a fee.
Review the process and responsibilities, all public reviews, and documented deal examples. Ask for a current written proposal. Neither a positive review nor a successful past deal guarantees that the service or a particular property is right for you.
Practical next step: request an itemized proposal and a complete property budget for your target purchase range. If either is missing, you do not yet know the total commitment.
