As for the value-add, I would manage all guest communications, pricing, listing, and other daily responsibilities, while also having a on-site team for all properties.

I love the fair and consistent style of communicating around this.

If you get enough loan volume to one lender, then you can start asking for a more efficient relationship.

Also, make sure that you pick a contractor that is licensed, insured and an adult about running his business, meaning he shows up on time, works professionally and keeps the site clean, as well as communicates well with you. 

assuming they would not restrict your use of the property for investment purposes I have to wonder if this would be an efficient way of partnering in the beginning of your investment career?

I cannot communicate with the tenant (except maybe via letter).

I think the most efficient way to build your team is by finding a solid investment focused agent and then having them guide you to the right connections for the other contacts needed. 

If you make certain your buyer is pre approved, the documents line up, and you keep good communication, the selling side has never proven to be difficult to me.With that said I agree with @Rick Santasiere in regards to scaling up.

Most of the time I've been taught are that lenders are just people who are willing to get paid as long as you meet their criteria, nothing elseThank you for the feedback everyone, I will try and communicate better the next time I post
