But i still want to list on platforms like VRBO/ABNB.

Posting this duplex that I found here in the heart of Eastern Michigan, I've been frequently trying to run numbers on duplexes and investment property listings as an up and coming agent and investor to try and gain whether a deal is good or bad.

(Unfortunately, the investor fell for this gimmick and did NOT get their own 3rd party inspections, appraisals or even visit the properties they were buying, against our best efforts to encourage proper due diligence and follow our check list for their own protection.)So now some people are stuck with properties worth half what they paid (not all RWN members), with no renovation done, and constant repairs and vacancies.

We should have a "good, bad and ugly" GP list for people to look up and avoid these GPs in the future.I wonder if anyone of you have heard of 711 Rescue and can let me know if this kind of company might be able to help the LPs.

One quote has the items listed, shows the price of each item as $0 and then has a final total.
