So much faster  But you're not going to cut out a notch for the electrical outlet in a backsplash, as just one example.

How do you propose finding all these top notch subs?

Top notch service by @Joshua Dorkin & @Brandon Turner 

I haven't researched a variety of ares through the White Mountains, just the ones I've been exposed to in my life, which are the Conway and Franconia Notch area.

Top notch property management is the single biggest determinant of whether your investment will succeed over time.

FSBO's happen all the time.. you simply take your contract that you can buy at the store.. fill it out   its fill in the blanks and go hand it to an escrow officer open escrow and they will do the rest.If your getting an appraisal means usually your getting a loan.. your lender will coordinate with the escrow officer.things you should do though1. get a full home inspection done that you pay for. and then negotiate any items that you deem necessary to be fixed.2. make sure you run the comps accurately.. many FSBO's are over priced by sellers that think THEIR property is special.  3. when you get the preliminary title report make an appointment with the escrow officer and have them walk you through it line by line.. so you fully understand what the state of your title is.. if this is lot and block subdivision stuff it should be pretty tidy.. also the lender will need tax's paid and be in first position so if there are any liens etc those will get handled by the title company out of the sellers proceeds.4. do not need agent to meet apprasiser and many frown on that these days lest the agents are steering the values.. although as @Kiersten Vance mentioned a top notch agent will have supporting documentation to support the listed price or the sales price.. to assist the appraiser. 5.

He and his staff (especially Alexandria) are top notch! 

After all, it's conceivable to do a bunch of flips for the sake of notching a dozen of them, but is that the proper focus?

My opinion would be to lower the rent and find some top notch tenants that you dont need to worry about!

My name ideas are A List homes, top notch sales, home & heart buyers, bayou house.
