That said, if you’re more easy-going and enjoy earning higher returns overall, you may just be the right personality fit for corporate rentals.TIMEDo you have the time?

It really is that simple...although not necessarily easy.

Easy enough with the agent, title co, and lending all doing their parts.

You said counting every single doorknob would annoy them, but do you at least get it itemized into how much for electrical, plumbing, framing, drywall, floors, foundation, etc.I still think I'm going to get a quantity takeoff at least when I'm just starting out with a new GC even just for the sake of letting them know that I'm not completely ignorant on the topic (and thus easy for them to lie to).I can tell them exactly how many CY of concrete will be needed for the foundation and footings and I know that it costs about $130/CY.

AmandaI would say it depends to what you are used to; if you are from CA or NYC you may find the Milwaukee spectaculary easy to work.

The one off buyer it is easy to re-trade,give them crappy terms, take it or leave it mentality, etc. 

The quick, easy and top dollar belong to updated, clean properties in good repair that are tidy and furnished tastefully and available for move in in 30-45 days.

Me, I like simple, easy, and something that is consistent and duplicatable.  

If the place looks easy to make renter ready, I'd offer to help him with cash for keys.There are foolish and bad people in the world, sometimes in charge of passing Ordinances, sometimes who are tenants, and who blind themselves to all I and other landlords do to help tenants...  

I will disagree that "licensing is easy to get," as the NMLS test is hard to pass AND even if you do, your entity must now begin quarterly and annual reporting to the NMLS System.Also, under Dodd Frank, if the above apply, you are probably required to document the borrower's ability to repay, and service the credit agreements/loans under the strict Dodd Frank loan servicing rules.
