If the goal is to become a full-time flipper/contractor, then doing tighter jobs can help build momentum for a business, that will pay dividends well beyond just the specific house, itself.  

Are the business on there trusted? 

I know I would get bored with not having a job or business to do lol

Started with the flip business 2 years ago and going strong. id say start by practicing comps in your area, learn your market and go to real estate meetups.

I just wish I was doing it for my own business.

Everyone is trying to maximize earnings in this business. 

If you want cash flow, start or buy a business.

When picking a market, I would look for things like population and job growth, rental demand, and economic diversity—basically, is the area attracting people and businesses?

It's about to be your small business.

I use the terms -  "corporate furnished rentals",  "short-term rentals",  and talk about my target clients-  Business travelers, traveling nurses, traveling healthcare workers.#6  Knowledge -  Know why STR is better for the landlord than traditional rentals.
