It might be a good way to catch some low hanging fruit, but it really will stigmatize your business in those markets that you run your campaign.

But on the other hand if you find the right Property Manager that you can depend on and trust you could turn that $180k investment into a $3k-$4k Cash flowing machine with several properties owned free and clear.

However, if you're busy and don't have the time, your time is obviously better spent on more fruitful endeavors.

Before you really get your marketing machine going and lots of leads coming in you try very hard to make something out of nothing.. this looks like a something out of nothing situation.

Build loyalty through transparency, this can be fruitful for many transactions not just one, forge relationships to be able to generate a system of success. 

Taking a different path can potentially yield more fruit. 

Complaints from sellers that didn't close, boohoo. they still have the property and they took a chance, these are the same people who if they lost a quarter in a slot machine would insist the casino give it back because the didn't win.

This is the lowest hanging fruit on the tree and some of it is even on the floor, waiting to be picked up.  

You could do most of the staging yourself in the kitchen and bathrooms, such as bowls of fruit and flowers on the kitchen counter, towels, shower curtains, and wall art in the bathroom, etc.  

No I don't, but instead of thinking of your residence as a cash machine, think of it as a way to build up your equity like the poster above me stated while reducing your debt burden by taking on a roommate.
