What's more appealing to a buyer for the same price? 

If that's not working you could work with an investment-focused agent as well.

As a real estate agent in an ever-evolving market, staying ahead of the curve and keeping sales momentum up are crucial for success.

I'm used to the Brokerage having the E&O policy, but the agents have to pay the premium. 

I am a CPA, licensed agent, and have a lending background and think I can speak to the various parts of your question. 

Also, with the amount of people hunting pre-foreclosures (wholesalers, agents, individuals, funds, etc.) and scooping them up to flip them, I don't see how the supply could outweigh the demand in the near future.

A lot of my clients have gotten stuck with major loan payoffs if they decide to sell their homes as they really don't add any equity here and most buyers don't want to take on the additional loan, some have had their home owners insurance drop them, and like you, they ended up costing more then just paying your electric bill. 

Management company fee is 8% of gross collected rents = $80 per monthas a buyer of a property management company you would pay 1-1.25 for that income stream... which is an annualized number. $80 * 12= $960 *1 =  $960   or  80 * 12 = $960 *1.25 =$1200    that would be the "value" of that one account.    

While I'm just beginning my journey in this industry, I'm passionate about real estate investing and eager to learn from experienced professionals.My goal is to build strong relationships with both buyers and sellers, ensuring smooth transactions and mutually beneficial deals.
