thanks fellow Sim, that's what I was working back from, $10000 and how many hours that would buy you. If you look at a cheapo BA of $100/ph that can get you someone for almost two weeks full time. It does on paper seem to be a heck of a lot of hours you could be paying for.
If I was paying someone a T&M hourly rate I'd also expect some kind of itemisation of time spent on specific tasks too. Of course, using the expertise of a BA should make their time more efficient, where you or I may spend a lot of time driving around I'd expect a BA to be able to short list much fewer properties remotely and only have to visit a few.
Anyway, just interesting to see what it gets when broken down.
I'm not really interested at using one for $10k, but if there are other options maybe down the track.
The only experience I've had contacting a BA resulted in them hassling me with follow up calls months after (all as a result of signing up for a free info session, sound familiar?) , so I would prefer to stay away for the time being.
