Conventional office space may actually cost more, depending on build-out, size of space, location, number of offices, etc. Costs for administrative, bookkeeping and technical support are not included in the comparison but are typically less expensive through RealSource due to the fact they are only a cost when needed and there is no costs for recruiting, hiring, taxes, and salary.


Initial Investment comparison assumes that many furniture items are not currently owned and assumes that the furniture purchased is not the top-of-line products. Please adjust your initial investment estimate accordingly.
