Finally, I have digital antennas for local stations.  

The commitment of a mentor is an act of taking a risk of investing time, effort and experience on someone, who may be just another person chasing today's shiny object before they disappear in pursuit of the next shiny object in short order.I'm not saying these things to discourage you, but so you manage your expectations and if investors aren't lining up offering mentoring opportunities, don't take it personal.  

@Leland Barrow had a great response for determining your goals and objectives.

On every Sunday afternoon, consult the objectives/tasks for the upcoming week, consult your calendar, and build out your week's schedule to make it happen. 

My main objectives are to wholesale and reach the level of buy and hold to create streams of cash flow.

How can I get around that objection I ran into last time?

This will allow you to accomplish your objective, of selling remotely and meet your own REI Goals.

What are some of your common objections to that?

Also, the Ultimate Beginner's Guide To Real Estate Investing (a free BP digital-book) is a good stepping stone if you don't know much about RE. 

This has happened three other times.I have notified the tenants to make sure they don't just throw raw trash into the bins without bagging them up first, or to not throw in tall objects like a stick which prevents the lids from fully closing, then the odor draws the creepers to the bins.
