My wife and I bought our first house (home) 6 months ago and through working on this project, I've learned quite a few things I can do and enjoy and those things that I would rather let someone else take care of in the future.At present, I'm taking the advice given from a thread I started a few months back about prioritizing small debts and building an emergency fund (1paid off by the holiday, 1 < $5k to be paid off by March/April). 

What is initially more important, creating a buyers list or finding motivated sellers first?

Straight whole life insurance (meaning the upfront death benefit is prioritized over speed of cash value accumulation) pays an agent more. 2) *Cost of insurance offsetting dividend rates* -- You may be getting the mechanics of a couple of products mixed up.

I prioritize my most important tasks and work on them in that order.

This has been criticalGC and a list of subs  - treat these guys/gals well and they will prioritize your work. 

Prioritize everything and execute, speed bump happens?

So while the tenant pool for Class A & B typically had reduced income, they chose to prioritize paying the rent.

They don't care about how much they spend on maintenance or take the time to prioritize tenant requests. 

Make sure you prioritize the major capital improvements ie structure, plumbing, electric, hvac.

I was paying $34/inquiring but getting really great info, including all open revolving accounts and their 30,60,day histories, collection activity and all public records (and it looks like the UD actions will soon be expunged).With that level of detail, you can see the income and expense (deriving the discretionary funds) and the accounts the  applicants prioritize and those the skip on.
