These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Readers should seek professional advice.

Even when talking with some real estate professionals who would seem to have an incentive to help me with renting out my property, I have been met with serious warnings (they pretty much say don't do it).

People coming into town to visit family, reunions, weddings or professionals on contracts.All that to say, don't count yourself out.

You will have to have a professional estimate done.

Most professional agents set a minimum dollar theyll do at these price points that will be substantial.

The successful wholesalers are the ones that are direct with the seller and have done an analysis on the deal to show it can be a successful investment (always double check with your own)totally agree, I would add the don't act sketchy and present their available homes in a consistent/professional manner to buyers. 

Sounds like I am in the right market for what I am looking for both personally and professionally.
