The biggest ways IMO are MLS data, multiple solutions for sellers (off market cash deal or listing), ability to rep. yourself on your own deals (saving on commission).Commission savings adds up fast when you're doing multiple deals a year.That being said, there is cost to having a license so if you're only doing a couple deals a year then it might not make as much sense.

It's also worked pretty well if doing STR since you can just qualify with AirDNA projected income, even if you have no STR experience.  

Just curious - why do you want to do this?

Quote from @Scoop Schneider: 86k principle 7.5IR 360 months 800 credit score 1st position Put it on paperstac. my guess without dropping it into any calculator would be its worth $50-$70k assuming property value is above $100k

Quote from @Kyle Lewis: Hello,I just recently bought some land for $50,000 and it appraised at $90,000.

After investing $35,000 in targeted renovations, we elevated its appeal and market value.

Selling property for top dollar is not as simple as putting it online.

If you start doing all these things Ive named and still no one is signing your assignment then its possible your deal is not a deal.

Looking at some properties around there and it seems to be the norm to have a cesspool in a few towns (WW, Coventry, NK/SK)Any immediate watchouts or gotchyas / red flags?

You need a report done so you can request repairs or credits and a handyman isn't doing that and the seller wouldn't validate it.
