Both are different, one gets less money but less time/hospitality/upfront costs; another gets more money, with more effort, more hospitality, being more available for guests upfront, plus extra expenses on the front end.

No as they all require different licenses and very different areas of expertise.

This is not for everyone but if you're OK with contacting strangers, you can start with Zillow FSBO listings, contacting local homeowners (door knocking, cold calls), different forms of marketing to direct sellers.All the best!

Building a new house on paper may be less costly (depending on finishing and etc.) but ultimately requires time and patience - which you may value differently than others.
