I like the idea of virtual staging—it seems like not many of the similar properties I mentioned are staging at all, so I think that could be a definite way to separate my photos from the others.

Quote from @Brian Malavsky: Totally agree with everyone else and I didn’t see anyone mention an “Umbrella Policy” I just got quoted this week for $1,000,000 coverage for only $350/yr.

Thanks, @River Sava , for the mention!

They don't mention anything about paying payroll taxes, workers comp, complying with laws, etcReal estate agents can have a team around them where they do have employees if they have admin/support or marketing team.Regardless, if you want to interchange small business for commissioned sales people in my post you can.My post was mentioning that service providers in the real estate space are incentivized by their advertisements as it will increase their annual income.

And, the longer you wait to act, the longer the squatter stays - and even gains some legal protections to stay while your waiting on a slow court system to act on an eviction. 

I guess not anymore.Lol, funny you mention that.

I guess I will just wait to see what umbrella quotes my broker can get. 

When you mention "ready for rentals", what does that mean to you?

I like the idea of live in flips, but it's something that I would wait until the kids are out of high school before I did it.

Thanks for readingDavid I would not buy anything right now, I would wait a year or so and see where prices are headed.
