You need to be careful around the risks of sudden price changes, market stoppages and watch for transaction fees.

In addition, committing ~ $200K requires some level of sophistication on the part of the investor and you are more likely to find someone to agree to your terms in smaller transaction sizes, but even that will be difficult. 

The OP would have to let us know if she worked through one of them though.The larger are well known TK resellers/marketing companies are:RTRHartmanreal wealthMaverickNorada Most of them also do other things than TK  and some of them are also principals in the transactions not just marketers. 

He would also not need any private money lenders to close these transactions -- his bank would be dying to give him a commercial line of credit. 

The happiest day of my investing career was when I transferred ownership to all those houses in one transaction and to never ever go there again with that asset class.But thats me.. section 8 can work but its not as passive as folks claim.

My first MF I represented the buyer on I made 100k. for maybe a weeks worth of work. 3. if your going to be looking a more resi style duplex 4 plex a lot of those get listed and having access to the MLS is far superior to any other on line listing service ONE simply because you will be able to talk to the actual LIsting agent not someone paying for leads.And then of course having access to MLS lock box's and not relying on agents.. this is huge.Now if your maybe going to buy one property sometime in the future and you have no interest in learning the RE laws of your state or making any money with transactional real estate then sure.. its a pass.. although I would still recommend the pre license course so you learn the basics  the vocabulary and states unique laws.. knowledge is power in RE.

2025 will be another slow year with low transactions similar to 2024.

@William Causey depends on the transaction and the parties involved.Agree with @Dennis McNeely on some of the transaction costs.A different issue though is with an Assignment, the buyer gets to see what you paid for the property.

An agent, lender, inspector or contractor that is transaction based?

When your in Transactional Real Estate like we have been and its been quite good since the GFC  cash flow at 200.00 a door has no interest for us..
