I doubt if anyone is saying it's impossible for it to work but I feel it's difficult.

Since I didn't have my own listings, I offered to other agent's to sit their open house.

Hi Roy,I did something very similar.

Im currently house hacking a triplex property I bought not too long ago with one inherited tenant who was there when I bought the property. 

It is up to the buyer to determine their own incentive and timeline, but if the agent feels like they are just wasting time and not going to get a transaction, the buyer is likely to be back-burnered since agents only get paid when a transaction occurs.

I own a licensed gc company so if it is in a decent area I know I can add alot of value to it at a cheaper price since there won't be any labor or material markups.

I run the project.

Home Appreciation: You’ve estimated a 2% annual appreciation rate, which I feel is quite conservative.

I started off with 3 houses on a lot and another house two lots down.

Feel free to message me if you have additional questions.
