If you are interest to read any other of the “How To” posts that I write check out the others listed below.

Check out Zillow and other property sites to see what is currently listed, what has recently sold (and for how much), and what recent rental units have been leased for.I'd also try to make it out to as many Local Investor Meetups as I can to have conversations with new and experienced investors near you.

The agent that helped us purchase the other half of the townhouse called us immediately when the listing came through.

My curiosity includes how timeframes are affected, the listing price of the home, quality of work etc. 

Its hard to find anyone who repossesses those items.

I feel like Cpt Obvious on this point but for some reason, people buy into his ever-expanding list of things he panders for profit. 

Other items: remove pine tree.

Is there a Realtor "law" that requires a listing agent to submit any offer to the seller?

Personal Item, Rent Income, Rent Expense, Flip Expense, etc. 

If they don't want to leave, list the house for sale and sell it with them in place.
