If you cant afford the prices work on building a comprehensive buyer list, then you should be able to find a buyer for good deals to wholesale.

On the same date that I signed the contract with the agent, I had a comprehensive marketing plan that included putting a for sale sign, ordering a domain for the property website, sending a "coming soon"'email to the top 10% agents in San Francisco, scheduling a brokers' tour the following week and scheduling an open house.

Ask about coverages, exclusions, other potential markets, and the advantages of putting your existing rentals on the same schedule.

They also have issues with working in a relationship where an implied agency may be developed and, working with a non-licensee where that non-licensee is involved with any aspect or the transaction beyond administrative duties, like discussing price, of describing the property, the agent/broker takes on liability.They can represent you, consult and charge a fee for you to obtain an option or they could consult for a fee representing you as a assignor of the option or the assignee.You'll likely need an experienced broker/agent as most may not feel comfortable in a consulting mode as they are not representing an owner.Many agents/brokers have insurance, professional liability and many of these policies cover agents on a per transaction basis, on closed sales.

But I need to learn about Property insurance for my rentals, liability for the rentals, and liability coverage/umbrella for the businessI have a couple rentals, and I actually did something really dumb.

And you might have difficulty finding a company that would offer coverage.

@Wendell De GuzmanThanks for the very comprehensive list .

Your site will also come across as more professional and comprehensive.

No phone calls for collection, mailings, accounting, reviewing insurance coverage and other matters.For a buyer, it keeps the seller honest as I mentioned so that the agreement can not be manipulated to their advantage.

Maybe I lack comprehension but I am more or less looking for the loopholes.
