If they accept the job, their name and reputation would be the Brand the local renters would recognize and probably flock too. 

I am brand new and trying to get my investing career up & running.

The catch is the townhome needs a brand new roof for which I estimated $10,000.

The sale fell through due to unreasonable buyer demands following the inspection - first time homeowner who essentially wanted a "brand new" 70 year old home.

I'd imagine since everything would be brand new and my father and I have been doing renovations on houses that it wouldn't cost me too much to turn the downstairs into a couple of 600$ a month apartments.

Homes aren't brand new, but usually not in too bad of shape.As for the realtor, I haven't had the opportunity to work with too many here.

I'd say it really depends if you are an established agent or a brand new agent.  

If franchisee goes out and you have to re-tenant  then you could have a cap rate drop for income and an erosion of equity position.If rent is a little above market but you have absolute guarantee from YUM brands a parent corp for example backed by over 10,000 stores then rent is likely to continue over the lease.

I wouldn't buy brand new and rent out a single family.

I'm brand new to Bigger Pockets and am local to a few of you.
