Cold calling definitely works for some, but you’re right — for beginners it often means spending most of the day dealing with rejection instead of building confidence.In my own experience, I tested using an international cold-calling team.

I’m happy to set up a test run to prove the math holds up.Cheers,Mazen

You can nail the strategy but if you're not consistently working your pipeline and following up with leads within 24-48 hours, you never get to test either approach.

This is critical to do early on, especially if you want to scale to multiple flips/rental purchases per year.

Underwriting has shifted to stress-test flat rents and rising expenses, especially in markets driven by real job growth.

For emergencies (fire, water, structure) they should call Latchel who then, in theory (again, never had to test it yet...thankfully!)

If you are selling multiple properties at once, especially as a package, I would ask each agent you interview about a lower fee, given the situation.

In addition you can consolidate multiple properties into 1 - I personally like this idea - one roof, one HVAC system etc. 

If the goal is scalability, predictability, or operating multiple markets, self-managing often becomes the bottleneck.The clients I see succeed with third-party management treat it as an operating decision, not a cost decision.

They will give you a few minutes of their time and  tell you if your situation is simple enough for Turbo Tax or if they can save you more than the 1.2k on multiple tax strategies.
