For example, sometimes as a GC a person you know will ask you to do a job, you say to yourself, this will be quick and I'll get a little capital for the next deal.

Should the property garner no interest from their buyer list, their Realtor list, their social media posts, their offering on BP, LinkedIn, FB, various property investor websites, yard signs, etc. then they would probably be willing to share their fee.

Quote from @Adam Rivera:I would really use realtors that do high volume of deals in this area you are looking and also property managers.

You need to calculate the time to break even on this, and consider if you will live in this home in 1 or 2 years from now.

This is the perfect situation for this.A third question would be, "is this his only property, and if not, are the other properties also paid off?". 

My lease agreement informs them that I expect them to do this and I have instructions this, and they have asked me for these very instructions, which I have yet to create.  

This is what I do.
