Then, you live in one and Rent the other until you Sell your Residence and move into your Rental and then just "Wash and Rinse."

however that's the publics choice of what agent to use.... if they want to hire the rookie go for it.. if they want to find an experienced agent they can do that.the bigger agents now a days have teams.. head agent with years experience and 3 to 5 members of their team.. ( which I think is a great incubator for those starting out by the way)In my real estate companies over the years... 10 to 15% of agents brought in 70% of the revenue. 50% washed out within 25 months.. however those that made it through and built their book at about year 10 its gets to be silly money and silly easy ( like my wife) all business is referral she has not spent a dime on advertising in 15 years.. and she has 25 years in the business.

It would probably end up being a wash overall.

As long as they don't tie up the unit for too long it's sometimes easier to wash your hands and start fresh.

@Jonathan Farber I would try to get the driveway power washed, maybe upgrade the bulbs to LED and possibly some light landscaping.

The Burbs of KC on the Kansas side offer A type of housing  solid  long term growth yes more expensive in the short term but the future is cash machine ,that is my bread and butter it works for me .Lot's of action on the Missouri side I just don't understand it or need to .

If you successfully "seal" it, any backups due to blockage anywhere from the main floor all the way to the street will then eventually be forced to rise to your main floor toilet, showers, and sinks...before spilling out (or, if you have a washing machine standpipe in the basement, that will back up first).

I keep extra mattress covers and switch it out and wash the old one.

It requires one who has a well oiled, time tested "machine" because those "leads" are just Opportunities, and they only translate into $$$$ is handled in a very precise, action-centric manner that turns them into such.
