HeidiTo sell or not we need to forecast the future projection based on zip code, house configuration and market trends, without that factor it's almost impossible to answer.For example, my best answer for bay area: if you have condo now, most likely it is overappreciated by now; then sell.

Kitchen configurations have changed vastly over the era's. 

For example, we have collected historical data on:• Floor plans and configurations that take much longer to rent. • Whether the master bedroom is downstairs and the other bedrooms are upstairs. • A minimum ratio of house footprint vs. lot size. • Localized crime statistics.

The vacant half is configured as a large high-end hair salon, the other half is occupied by me.I'm really excited to have my first interested party.

@Matthew Watson If you're not wanting to have to configure a general purpose system, there are REI specific CRMs that operate very well for what you are trying to do. 

Is there someplace in which my schedule is incorrectly configured?

Subscribe to MLS data, analyze the trend based on configuration inside zip code.2. visit all those open homes, note all good/bad3. visit all flipped homesThe problem why you only breakeven in your flip is either the two :a) you bought at the wrong time or wrong purchase priceb) you are under-estimate the rehab costyou need to do market research without the help of realtor, if you don't master it yourself you will make the same mistake.In flips, timing is extremely important in my opinion.

Louis, that number could be 0.7-0.8 , the yield will be higher to the same house configuration even if you compare it to the TX market.The same thing also applies if you buy SFR in Nicaragua or Philipines, it's deterministic.It's not the agent job that supposes to find your next REI.
