Can you do a much smaller scale rehab?

Hmm I guess it could be unethical, but if it's a clean deal and the agent know's it'll close quickly, I could see it being more advantageous to a distressed home owner as well.Yeah an extra $5k doesn't exactly move the scale for someone making that kind of money.

She used to handle properties in the area, but only does so on a small scale so it would be informal, but just for record keeping.   

I'm having a tough time finding someone to take on a job of this scale since it's so small, and likely only a day of work.

Most of those coaching programs are primarily designed to help scale a business up and put systems in place but can be a little too much too soon when just starting out.

I had first heard about cesspools in Mobile Home Parks and heard in that arena to never buy a place with one, but I imagine it is different with the scale of many homes vs a single home. 

You could also move to a lower cost area and scale back on the lifestyle.

Newer homes seems to command something close to $1 sqft up to 1500 sqft then the larger home prices do not scale accordingly.

I am pretty good in the Buy & Hold field of the real estate business but its really hard to scale and it seems to consume alot of my time when I should be working on new projects instead of taking care of crappy tenants and old houses.

I am wondering how I could scale real estate, while quitting to pursue my dream.
