The one warning that I would provide is that it is death by a thousand cuts getting a property to market.

These costs +/- are $2,000 per year total.

35-40% is a more standard realistic operating cost. 50% is too high.

They will definitely help cut your learning curve dramatically and help point you in the right direction as far as which neighborhoods to target and which ones to stay away from.  

I'm not a title agent, but I presume there are fixed costs involved in any kind f services.

@Alan HaleCan’t answer number 2 but financing has nothing to do with your profit I’m it doesn’t matter what you buy whether a car, home or pack of toothpicks, your profit is what you paid for it minus your costs/expensesWhere financing does come into play is it is a cost as money is not free - but it’s only what you have paid for that financing.Hope that makes sense
