Whether you achieve your target return or profit is a function of your management.

Otherwise it can get complicated as you really are putting buyers and sellers together, facilitating sales.You need to read your state statutes very carefully word for word as to what requires a real estate license and then don't do those things if you don't have a license.You can be an employee or memebr in a LLC that buys or sells, as a principal, in other words if BAC LLC buys a property and you are a memeber of BAC LLC, you can then be entitled to profits for the work you perform in that LLC.Another way is for you to take an option to buy and then sell your option, this is placing you in a position of havine an interest in the transaction, but those you sell to may have financing issues with this, it also depends on property restrictions or title limitations as beeing seen as sales during a restriction to conveyances, again check and see how these issues are viewed locally.Generally, you can not act as a third party between a buyer and seller and simply arrange or introduce deals and be paid a fee independly as that is a function of a real estate agent/broker.Lastly, it's easy to get a bad reputation amoung Realtors if you're known as a birddog, they will likely see you as unlicensened competiton and expect them to complain and report your activities.

The tile floors, the "new" bathtubs, and counter tops rented out both my homes.Well, it's a Class A area 1/3 mile from the beach and renters here want the proximity to the beach and functional features ( I guess ).I saw a Rustoleum video on youtube , didn't know you could overlay countertop tile with it ?

My thought is that, if I find a well-functioning entity with good staff, it seems it would be much easier to buy the entire entity and everything with it, than to create a new LLC and have to basically "rehire" the 2 employees I want to keep, etc...

If you buy a desirable property the tenant and buyer pools aren't really limited by schools.The reason I asked about separating PM and RE functions is so you get unbiased information.

Both are more than adequate in condition and function, yet the inspector failed both houses by the tune of 3 full pages of items.

A family in this area that requires that many bedrooms may spell trouble with a bunch of out of control kids or several family members who sit around with no job and plenty of weed.Note a 7 bedroom house in a nice neighborhood but with only 1-2 bathrooms is 'functionally obsolete' and will be a hard sell as well.
