There is a buyer for every property (almost every) if the price is right.As for the pictures yes the memos and trulia and zillow push that talking point.. .Houses with more pictures get more showings or sell quicker blah blah... he rational is correct if a person sees everything they know what they are walking into and are less likely to think you are hiding something...

Since time is money, the quicker you can close on a deal, the more advantage you may have over another buyer.Because I work full time, and I travel back and forth from Arizona to California each week, I can't get to the properties and oversee them.  

Don't count on closing any quicker than about 3 weeks on a cash deal. 2.

It seems bigger organizations have less trouble and can accomplish it much quicker than I can.

While some like you, would rather have little cash flow but get the property paid off quicker which lowers risk eventually and once it is paid off makes for a much better cash flow and no/low risk profile.

Not trying to be a jerk, but the minute you aren’t a slave to debt on a depreciating asset the quicker you are on your way to owning the dealership.

You just have to make sure that you buy the property well below market value and have the loan amount be equal to what you have into the deal.There is a way to refinance quicker than the 6 months time frame. 

I personally moved to larger multifamily after starting with SFH rentals because of the ability to scale and go quicker.

What could I do to make it quicker?

Our role is to find creative ways to market and find deals for people, we make a smaller profit but it's one of the quicker ways of raising some capitol.
