Is this a smart decision too?  

It might not be as much work as doing both sides, but it still requires your time and attention.3.Negotiation Power: Whether you’re buying or selling, you need to ensure you’re making smart decisions and not overpricing or underpricing the property.

It takes real effort, smart decision-making, and a willingness to grind through the tough parts.So, let’s provide those just getting into the space a dose of reality—what’s the one thing you despise doing in real estate?

Base your decisions on hard facts only and maintain a paper trail. 

And I used to ask this type of questions when I was a newbie and the truth is, no one can tell you anything and you just have to make that decision yourself based on your current situation, your short term and long term goal. 

I'd love to hear what factors guide your decision when choosing a market.

You find the person who makes decisions bout the property and ask "what are your plans for the house?" 

I want to learn as much as I can about deals before we pull the trigger on something, so we make the best decision.  

And the number of nuanced decisions that need to be made in order to have a well-executed design simply cannot be fully covered prior to demo, and often even after demo, especially if you are talking renovations.

Definitely an easy decision when you dont have to worry about loosing 4-6% off the top in realtor fees!
