He is a contractor by trade and I am the sales and numbers guy to loosely define us.

They’d rather just trade toys on the sly and call it a day.3.

Negotiating favorable terms is both an art and a science, and in real estate, it's a critical skill that can make or break a deal.

And that is where the skill comes in.

Use your skills to network with local investors and professionals by attending meetups in the Conroe and Houston area, joining online forums, and connecting with property managers or realtors.

Write it up to an education, spend some time sharpening your support team (particularly in the trades) and start thinking about how you can do it again!

@Jaren Taylor, not sure if this is why you talk about raising all cash, but given most deals are trading in the 5% cap rate range, and agency debt is 6.5% while balance sheet debt is closer to 7%, I whole heartedly agree that all cash is the ideal capital structure for many properties today, if your goal is to maximize overall returns for your investors.  

I’ve been considering working for as a acquisition manager for a  wholesaling company, as I believe it would help me develop skills in property analysis and enhance my sales abilities.

I had been scouted more times than I can recount to come to CA to apply my skills because the standards I came up in exceed that of CA and most places. 

There are plenty of varying job opportunities in the real estate industry.Ask yourself: What skills do you have?
