This is because marketing costs money, and that is a big part of the listing agent's job.Another major part of any real estate agent's job is making sure all contracts and documents are properly executed in a timely fashion. 

I’m really miserable at my job and I’ve been wanting to start a business in wholesale real estate.

Nice work @Jeremy Watson!

If you build custom homes local to you it might be a really nice move to always build two homes at a time. 

I think my plumber added $500 for an attic job, but the $900 was installed in garage.

@Neel Patel - I doubt you can get $1600 for the larger unit;  for $1600, the tenant could rent a fully rehabbed single family home in a nice area of Huntsville or even Madison proper;  the other rent amounts are probably feasible, although again, $1100+ can net a decent SFH rental. 

I bought them in 2018-2019 and they are worth around +240-300k now, so while they are not cashflow monsters they appreciated nicely, nearly tripled the initial investment amount. 

And I agree the vast majority of larger investors started with a nice amount of cash or very robust professional type salary.

We had a new build that required a fire suppression system.Every year the fire marshal comes out to inspect the system and fire extinguishers.Last year they told us to put up a street number sign because the original was too obscure to see for the firetrucks.Everyone involved was super nice and easy to work with.Maybe the county is just going through growing pains and trying to figure it out.
