However, it was a blessing in disguise because I have learned what NOT to do and have worked hard at establishing what they offered on my own with my own VA's and it has been less expensive and more profitable.

The difference is investors make offers direct to owners.6.

It’s hit and miss, really need to deeply understand what they offer, if they will work for you or against you, whether they sign the lease or you (I prefer me, to reduce that lock jn). 

Even in the off-season - you can optimize visibility by setting competitive pricing, using high-quality photos, and enabling Instant Book with flexible policies.For older listings, try adjusting prices with dynamic tools, highlighting upgrades, and regularly updating your title, photos, or descriptions to stay fresh in search results.These tweaks can make a big difference!

I was recently offered this, wanted to get feedback, questions, etc. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

If someone instead offered 35k to assume the loan and deed to the property, what are the hurdles to that deal?  

Don't be afraid to look at other markets since you are not married some states offer better purchase to cash flow ratios.States like Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida etc.   

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

Flexibility in Loan Terms: Josh offered a unique hybrid product that let my friend lock in a portion at a fixed rate while leaving the rest variable.
