Florissant Road is notorious as a speed trap with Ferguson Police, and it's even worse with Calverton Park.

My sales points are speed, ease of transaction, and offering to clean up the property and take it as-is, with no work involved by the heirs.

If I would guess it is somewhere in the middle, the only thing I know about other markets compared to Kansas City is on the speed of evictions.

Sure it would be nice to keep it as an emergency fund, but why not use that money to either speed the process of paying it down or using it to fund other RE investments.

Any other pointers you can give to speed up the learning curve to utilize QB for RE flipping?

Price, quality or service/speed... pick two but you can't have all 3.

I know speed is generally the name of the game in flipping, and additions will increase your construction/holding time, but are there any pro/con feelings one way or another?

The rates are high but the speed and flexibility can justify the rates.

Meaning you can increase the speed of searching the MLS, touring the property, and the putting in a contract on a property without having to wait for anyone.  

This question started because he was a little slow to ramp up, and though I get that ramping up takes time, I was wondering if perhaps the "cost-saving measures" he is instituting is possibly a cover for being involved in quite a few projects and that would actually explain the unimpressive speed.
