So, if you are serious and have some experience, you can probably cut a few years off your business development trajectory, and save more than the $15-$20K fee by retaining this outfit.

That usually stopped them in their tracks as they kind of have a one track mind.Habitat is a great outfit and I got to know the directors in the markets I donated in..

We've connected with Trey Bell of the Bell Team - a KW outfit to help us out.  

Not the cheapest plumbing outfit out there, (I paid ~$200 for them to scope the pipes and do a general inspection and ~$160 to clean up a toilet and shower issue my tenant had) but you probably don't want to work with the bottom feeders anyways.

Most property managers are just mom and pop outfits, not franchisees.

Call around & when you find the right outfit, they will advertise the sale, pull all the stuff out of the locker, sort it (you can pick out the photos, etc. if you set it up ahead of time with them), conduct the sale & poof!

We have outfitted our short term rentals almost exclusively from high-end used furniture at consignment stores. 

You will be investing the same time and energy to hire and train staff, outfit the home, locate services, etc., so you might as well go for the highest ROI possible.

If you had a big outfit 24 hour type commercial plumbing company giving you the diagnosis, I'd get another opinion.

With $100k, I'd look to buy a property for around $200-250k (20-25% down) and use the remainder to add extra bedrooms to outfit for a MTR, rent by the room model.
