MikeOH,Despite our occasional tustle, you are alright in my book!

That said, I would love to be wrong on both counts and happy to try to understand that market better as it would be good from a self-management and occasional use perspective. 

And even then occasionally you'll get the combination of- Power outage + lots of rain so your basement/crawlspace will be flooded because the sup-pump is not going to work when the power is out.

Nothing extravagant for my MTR but I do want furniture that will stand up well to daily use and doesn't scream "cheap" to my guests.

You'll probably have to meet somewhere in the middle if your appraisal is higher.I occasionally buy foreclosures. 

I also do the occasional flip.

It's tough in A/B, almost everything I do is C, but there's the occasional B in there as well!

@Don SpaffordThanks for the response and I am looking for all of those things, buyers, properties and someone to occasionally check my comps. 

I started as an agent, worked with some agents who occasionally bought a house, renovated it and sold it, and realized that I wanted to be involved.

You can maximize bookings by allowing all sorts of liberal stuff and deal with the occasional headaches that come up, or you can have less bookings but more quality by creating better framework.
