Flipping homes can be an amazing business model but there is definitely a higher chance of you losing money then other avenues so if your afraid of costly mistakes that might not be the best way to start then.

However as Texas only allows a HELOC on your Primary Residence, I don’t want to lose this facility if I move to a new place (and I want to comply with the rules!).

I get the frustrations of laundry and especially losing expensive luxury linens that gain 5-star reviews and very happy guests.

But if it did take 750hrs a year to deal with people I'd likely lose my mind! 

If your agent will work for free with no strings attached, that tells me they are either desperate and inexperienced OR they offer a low level of service working many "clients" - either way you lose in the long run. 

But mainly my team doesn’t want to lose “this”.  

Long term I think you end up losing your shirt here, so if you can get out without too much damage I'd take my lumps and move on.

@Gerald Harris Agree with these points, especially the emphasis on knowing your market and staying consistent.

Said it great .Especially  A legal contractor has more to lose than a homeowner .

The cost of housing in CA contributes to some of the homeless population, many working people are only a few missed paychecks away from losing their current residence.
