As a follow-up, I got a call and they seem oblivious to my being annoyed by their attempt to profit from my asset, and have said they will take down the ad. 

In addition, for us to purchase a place to call home (somewhere we actually want to exist) and leave empty while we travel, we are looking at having to spend at least $850k with no real upside or income generating potential. 

I have made money on the last 15 or so deals I did there  everyone made a profit and I can't say that about all markets I work and I work 14 .. 

Part of the profit is better than none. 

Not in the best neighborhood but it will generate cash for me.

If you are looking into flipping, I would think a general contractor would be just as important as your realtor as the construction is what makes or breaks your profits in flipping. 

What's is the best strategy for making a profit of this home?

Your business could make profit sharing contributions, however.
