For example, I told a landlord I could sell his property for $450,000.

Throw the junk in a dumpster, and keep or sell the things of value to recoup your costs.I never want to sell anyone's belongings.

Big potential downside- both a selling and buying agent are involved here and I believe they're expecting their 3% each. 

I agree on selling. 

There will be many situations where you can help a homeowner save their home -  however, in other situations they just want to sell quickly which provides a wholesale, fix/flip, buy/hold opportunity for you.

They needed to sell after just 6 months of owning.

I was sent an offering memo by a broker selling a multi-family building in an area no reasonable person would even consider affordable housing material yet the marketing materials made a point of emphasis to detail how the property would satisfy the need for affordable housing.

Most also work off of call lists that are incredibly outdated, so anything you do today likely won't have an impact for a while....I received a call from an idiot on Tuesday wanting to know if I would sell a piece of land.
