Fixed some walls, new paint inside and out, new flooring throughout the home, cleaned up the yard, new water heater, new natural gas line to the home to replace a propane tank, put in baseboards throughout the home What was the outcome?

Sure you'll get some efficiencies of scale, but that will also depend on the nature of the property.

That said, a lot depends on how much time has passed since the set up and other factors like natural disasters, drainage etc.

Nature of the beast, I am sure most property investors have had at least one bad experience, its how you deal with it that matters.

After 13 years if the rent is 3400 you are paying 93,600 to supplement payment (3400 rent but payment  4000 so 600x12monthsx13years) 440000 is mortgage owed -93600 you helped pay=$346,400 being paid by someone else after 13 years.

Seller financing is highly profitable as long as the buyer stays paying that high interest loan amount, but the natural way of things is that they will try to refinance with a bank as soon as they can which eliminates the rest of your profits. 

The new one's are pretty cheap and let you put all your properties into separate liability compartments which really supplement the insurance a lot more cost effectively than having a bunch of separate LLC's. https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/the-traditional-llc-vs-the-series-llc-which-is-better-for-real-estate-investors/

I also intend to act as an agent but only for a handful of deals a year to supplement the rental income to purchase more properties.So before I invest the time and money, I wanted to see if there are brokers out there that would support this approach? 

I am doing LVP in the kitchens and hallways (natural wood look in darker tone), white kitchen cabinets with stainless appliances, and have painted Agreeable Gray SW throughout.
