There are differences, however; a contractor working with a PM is likely only going to see a few, full blown remodels a year, whereas a flipper is going to live and breath that kind of work.  

But would consider core areas with the understanding that I may be overpaying by up to 10% but over 10 years it will be a winner.I'm a Brentwood guy who started buying up SFRs in 2011-2013 time fame and the return over roughly the past 3 to 4 years has been breath taking.

However I have recently left this industry to 'catch my breath'.

We are devout converts who live, eat, sleep and breathe what we believe. 

This way, you have some breathing room to accumulate a little more capital and decide what you'd like to do. 

If I am to use a realtor (I am not one, by the way) I want them to answer my calls, return the calls of interested parties, set up escrow, order title, QUALIFY buyers before telling me they "have an offer coming", give a critical eye to the property that I may have over looked, suggest a marketing plan beyond the MLS listing and a sign, get the listing into websites beyond the MLS, stop by the property weekly to see that it presents well, tell other agents about the property, have a list of people they can call telling them that a "new, groovy" property has just hit the MLS, live & breath my property until it gets sold.

Edit: These are general q's, not directed at you OP.Would you like to collect a handful of assignment fees or would you like to build a relationship that could potentially provide free leads as long as there is breath in the lungs of your prospect?

I won't hold my breath.

That's a breath of fresh air in America today!

When I started reading this I was thinking " I didn't do much for my business today", but as I read it occurred to me that I breathed a huge sigh of relief that funds hit our account today from last week's re-fi.
