@Mike M.I live in Bellevue (hotter market as compared to neighboring Seattle market).

ONE, it would be my first REI deal, TWO, analysis paralysis, THREE, its a fairly rural community,FOUR, no comparable properties anywhere around to get a property value.

The place I am planning on marketing to is primarily owner occupied, as the town is currently catching up in appreciation compared to the rest of the area.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Let's compare a simple wholesaler's deal to to the same deal as an exchangor:ARV is 200k,Repairs are 30k,As is value 150k,Purchase price is 70% of ARV minus repairs and 10k assignment fee so 100k.Wholesaler assigns contact and makes 10k..love it.Exchangor has same house worth 150k(as is value) that he/she owes 100k(contract price).

One of the biggest mistakes I have seen less experienced investors do when choosing their first one or two flips is thinking they can save a lot of money by doing a lot of the repair or upgrading working on their own compared with paying a licensed contractor to do the work and mainly because a person doing the work themselves are not as experienced at doing good quality work and frequently will take a lot, a lot, a lot longer to get the work done and if you are financing your deal they you will end up paying a lot more in finance interest and still maybe end up with marginal instead of good quality work and you are only delaying the date for flipping , reselling, or being able to get a property rented.

THAT land now was common ground for the timeshare association. 

well your description of the situation is not complete.. do you know its landlocked.. somehow if there is a home there I suspect it is not.. but it does happen I am in a landlocked case right now been two years fighting it thankfully I have title insurance and they are paying the lawyers.. first thing you do is not rely on your own due diligence if your not a surveyor or familiar with maps etc.you do one thing first .. you order a title report.. you may have to pay for it.. say 200 to 250.. your probably in a title abstract state. ( not sure but most of the NE is)  the title company hires an abstractor to do the court house work they will then write you a title commitment.. if your TRULY landlocked there will be an exception IE they wont insure access.. if this is missing then you ask them to clearly denote on the plat map where the legal access is.. you then take that map and see if it works on the ground..
