All the work that has to go into it, up-front out of pocket expenses and so on, definitely food for thought if this is going to be the path I walk especially as a rookie agent. 

Unfortunately I can't recommend a good flat-fee broker to you, but I can offer some food for thought on discount brokerage business models in general.First let's take a look at the potential savings: If the home is an Anytown, Northern CA let's just say it's worth $400k.

It is not noticeable until the food actually starts getting warm, and that will depend on how full the refer/freezer is, and how often someone opens the door.

Your houses become your inventory, no different than if you're a shoe store selling shoes or a restaurant selling food. 

If someone is taking their "food from the table" to save me money I would return the favor with business and referrals. 

They have to be on a strict diet to stay small, and most owners don't have the heart to restrict their food like that. 

Has anyone purchased a vacant fast food chain building then turned around and sold it to another fast food chain and had the retailer on a ground NNN lease? 

Now the mess includes fast food boxes and papers everywhere. 

Just food for thought.
