He made a few assumptions when working with the architect to come up with the plans and when everything was submitted for review, the township kicked it back and said we need a variance due to the current setback of the house from the road, adding the addition isn't grandfather in.

Am I somewhere within the ballpark as it relates to my assumptions as to what probably needs to be done based upon the pictures, the age of the property (built in 1986), and the other details within the listing?

There was an assumption he couldn't simply assign the offer to us.

If I take into account semi annual bonuses I qualify for I can make a safe assumption that within 24 (give or take a few months based on sales incentives and bonuses)months i will be debt free.The goal right now of course is to lower my expenses.

Using your numbers & some of our own assumptions I came up w/ a CCR of 11.13% in the 1st year.    

Some of them were rented around 800 currently. https://www.redfin.com/MO/Kansas-City/1200-Main-St...So let's assume:90k (list, but pretend we rolled 5k in upgrades)18k down, 5% interest, 1% prop tax (est), 800 yr insurance, 190 HOA brings you: 718 moProp Mgmt fee: 75% of first mo, 9% monthly (1100 assumption) $167You'd be getting about 220 mo, but how accurate do think the 1100 is?

So far I'm using the following assumptions (plus tax & insurance which is a bit more straightforward) to get to a net cash flow.

Assuming all goes well with my future endeavors (I know that is a big assumption) I am hoping to move up to the 35% tax bracket by the time I retire.

I would expect to charge a flat fee, with perhaps time or quantity restrictions.The idea is based on several assumptions: 1 - people looking for such a home may be far enough away that it is difficult for them to spend the time on-site to search. 2 - real estate agents are eager to sell their own inventory and may not pay a lot of attention to the buyer's wishes. 3 - buyers would be willing to hire someone to facilitate the search. 4 - buyers want help from someone who listens and acts in their best interest.I don't want to represent the buyers in any legal sense.

Daniel,Below are the numbers I ran (I made some assumptions) at a 10% Cap which is what I use for "B" type properties in my area.
