I look at land with a far different eye now than the proverbial cursory glance & I take a long walk knowing the costs associated with any site & avoid propane & septic.

And our interest is in merely trying to quantify and qualify the home for you.If you have the home inspection in hand it's a spec sheet that you can shop around and get bids on, use to intimidate  Negotiate with the seller, offer to rehabbers (as a wholesaler) all without exposing you to any more liability, or stress, or awkward situations outside of the normal real estate purchasing process.And finally to address your last point, I know a couple Home Inspectors, and they do their own flips, also most come from a construction/architecture background so to say they don't know as much as a contractor is silly.  

Here's what we do know natural gas is the cheapest way to heat of oil, electric, propane and gas (the big 4).

I know this is in large part due to the strong Denver market, but pricing a property correctly is also a huge component.Just remember, without the MLS (at least in our market), you are only exposing your property to a small percentage of potential buyers - multiple offers = strong negotiation platform.

I'm going to do anything within my power to expose this thief.

They are also lightweight, and NOT sharp edged when exposed.

For online ads, I completely agree with not exposing the exact address, but just the nearest intersection.

Going this route will also expose you to more properties in need of renovation, whereas the turnkey outfit will likely have already done the rehab.

Only the assets in the LLC will be exposed.

My main concern with doing it on my own is that I won't cover all the bases and leave myself exposed to unnecessary risk.
