Granted, 2% is pretty small potatoes for the types of SFRs I deal with, but some folks may find this beneficial.

(the one good question to ask is how long has he been a Realtor and does he work any other jobs).Broker (or Firm): this is where you will find the real meat and potatoes... most agency's today are franchises (which sucks for YOU) because they are only as big or wealthy as that one owner of that one office.

The really "big" guys you refer to do not rent to small potatoes requiring a personal guarantee.

Adding a bag of potato chips or a gift basket wouldn't do anything to add more renters to the pot. 

Or in better terms " the game of hot potatoes"- who or which investor is getting stuck holding the bag.

I don't know much about the whole process.This is a small-potatoes purchase, not involving a lot of money.Any suggestions?

Even though, they will focus on investing in Australia, you can learn a lot through the process of osmosis. 

Let's put the meat and potatoes on the table and discuss the do's and don'ts of wholesaling as a Realtor. 

Also my competition.My 2 bedroom units I describe as "Hamburger and French Fry" are $350/week.My 2 bedrooms I describe as "Steak and Potatoe" are $400/week.My pricing comes from my competition.

The rent is small potatoes compared to what you will get on sale.There are a number of renters that will only rent if there are washer/dryers in the unit.
