I don't think you want to become a broker, I wouldn't, with the required paper work, admin, record retentions,etc, let alone if you start hiring agents, and have 5-10 walking liabilities running do who knows what.Perhaps the simplest solution would be find a broker who works as a "transaction fee" broker: one who doesn't necessarily take a percentage of the commission but a flat fee per transaction; typically say a $350 brokerage fee and something like a $250 'record retention" fee (which is typical here-paid by the client or otherwise eaten by the agent. 

It's a more modern look.If you are super tight on the budget you could consider getting the existing tile professionally refinished.

I agree with Wayne.Quiet Title could be an issue since it won't be all that "quiet" if the people that need to sign stuff are alive and well and already know there is an issue.The obvious solution is to have the same title insurer that wrote your policy write the one for the buyer.

But there is an easy solution to the upfront cash problem if you have a good credit rating.

The grain pattern of modern tress is not as tight as it used to be and thus is more prone to rot.  

After recently spending several thousand dollars renovating a rental unit to what I thought was really nice, the new tenant asked if I would be willing to replace perfectly good sliding closet doors to newer, more modern ones.

So it is a busy season... contractors often don't return calls. you book appointments with them  and they never show up , or show up gives a bid and then say they actually  booked...I have two properties in Kansas City right now that needs exterior and interior paint job.its about 4000-4500 budget for eachI purchase all paintfinally two  contractors bid and ready to do it but  insist on getting 1000 to 2000 upfront  for each property before they start .I am not too excited paying someone I dont know those amounts.can any of you who are experience in rehabs have a creative solution not to losethose contractors but reduce the risk?
