One Market Mayor per city, for life. You own the LIVIN.in brand in your city, run its newsroom, home search, events, and vendor marketplace — and earn a share of every dollar that flows through it. Here’s what the seat costs, and what it pays.
Apply for your city →Every city is classified by market profile. Your tier is confirmed by the pricing model at the time the city is awarded, and your rate is locked for life while you’re active and in good standing.
| Tier | City profile | Setup | Monthly | Core Four slot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha | 500K+ · top-GDP metro · luxury override | $5,000 | $5,000/mo | ≈ $1,250/mo |
| Metro | 250K–500K · regional hubs | $3,500 | $3,500/mo | ≈ $875/mo |
| Premium | 100K–250K · income lift, affluent secondary | $2,500 | $2,500/mo | ≈ $625/mo |
| Standard | 50K–100K · mid-income | $2,000 | $1,500/mo | ≈ $375/mo |
| Local | Under 50K | $2,000 | $1,000/mo | ≈ $250/mo |
Setup is the greater of one month or $2,000 and includes your first month. Recurring monthly billing begins only when your local MLS integration goes live (typically 60–90 days).
20% of all MVP Partner revenue collected in your city, for life. Your share is yours alone — Governor and President pay comes out of LIVIN.in’s corporate share, never yours, enforced in code.
What your MVP Partners pay — flat, forever. No bidding, no pay-per-click. You earn 20% of every dollar.
Your monthly platform fee isn’t a cost you carry — it’s a cost your first four vendors cover. Price each Core Four slot at roughly your monthly fee ÷ 4; lock four exclusive local partners and the seat runs at net zero. Everything you build on top is margin.
Pick any four of six essential categories — four are exclusive, two stay open:
| Stage | MVPs | Blended rate | City MVP revenue | Your 20% / mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starting out | 12 | ≈ $250 | $3,000 | $600 |
| Building | 25 | ≈ $350 | $8,750 | $1,750 |
| Established | 50 | ≈ $400 | $20,000 | $4,000 |
Illustrative scenarios only, to show how the model scales — not a projection or guarantee. Actual income depends entirely on the roster you build. No cap, no clawback, no rate adjustment.
