It’s much more rewarding when you plan to have Vacancies, some repairs, or CapEx.  

Most people who post here giving advice feel it is fun and their duty and they are the "expert" and being able to be so is reward enough to them.

On the other hand, the broker that represented us in the acquisition of the lots is also a very good and capable broker, although she is not specialized in new home sales.Frankly, I think either would do a good job selling the homes (especially in this market) but I'm trying to weigh the following things:1) In general, I like the idea of rewarding the sourcing broker. 

There is less competition there and you have the rewards that can come from the cap rate when adding positive improvements. 

This requires a deep knowledge of execution, but is very rewarding and exciting.

If you are handy and hands on you are ready for some license more rewarding. 

If you want no risk, then there's not much of a reward.

If your original plan was to reduce rent by $25/month, then you're basically willing to give back $300 in annual value as a reward for this behavior. 

But the returns are worth it, and it's pretty rewarding. 

You can also partner up with a more experienced investor if you bring something to the table (cash, time, experience, charm etc)If you're already networking keep it up!
