And DSCR is absolutely crucial.

I'm in this for the long haul (meaning when it's paid off, I will cash flow $5150) but this just doesn't sound good in any short-term aspect.

My realtor finally told me bluntly that if I want this to succeed as a business then I need to treat it as business, buck up and quit worrying about hurting someone's feelings when they aren't doing their job.The other aspect that struck a chord with me was the emotional investment in a deal. 

I have also recently learned to isolate different aspects of my inspection process.

Most industries (including real estate) have aspects of sales and marketing.I'd also recommend taking the job as it seems like you don't have any true work/career experience.  

Write down the action steps you should (probably) take to get from here to there.Now, for the 50% of the 5% that have gone this far, there's one more filtering aspect coming up which will cut off another 50%.You actually have to DO stuff. 

That aspect is normal, just look at the BI market years back where the Cognos, Business Objects, Pentaho, JasperReports and so on are were bought up and in some cases just became a far less useful product.    

I'm also the broker and we get 512 characters on mls for description, not enough to sell people on quality aspects and although we can add text to the 25 MAX pics that text often is not picked up by the 3rd party sites buyers see.

Getting out of our comfort zone is very crucial and as I am reading thru these conversations I can see how beneficial it will be.

Hi James - I think your choices are listed, just not the creative aspect of them.
