So here's the conundrum for a novice - being the type A personality I am and wanting to learn (and, honestly, control) as much as I can about this "deal" my first instinct is not to "bug" local investors about it because (a) I want to add value to what I can present, (b) I want to know as much as I can before I put this before someone, (c) I want to control this in some fashion before putting it before someone since i'd be doing a lot of up front with the seller and learning as much as I can about the property, (d) I don't want to waste an investor's time because I don't want that reputation to follow me as I evolve with this business.But it's like I can't get the outline or roadmap on how to start (with the land, for instance) without going to someone who's been there, done that and effectively negating points a to d.If YOU were pursuing this based on what I outlined, what would be the FIRST thing you'd do?
