Pretty much everything I have seen and read is:Find out the sellers motivation/problem and speak to solving that issue.Give an offer but explain how you got your numbers.Other than that, it seems pretty limited for negotiating information. 

Still, considering how difficult it is to find a good real estate focused accountant, limiting your search to local providers usually gives you too few options.Expand your search to include remote CPAs.

However, this may limit flexibility and take time to scale.

That's Property Management 101.If your PM didn't have this lined up and didn't make you aware of this limitation upfront, that's a red flag.

I’m not claiming to know it all—I’m here to learn, build relationships, and grow.Here’s what I bring to the table:A strong understanding of leveraging Net Operating Income (NOI) to secure financing and reduce out-of-pocket costs.Experience in negotiating deals and identifying opportunities, especially in the LA market where many multi-family properties are under $2 million.Skills in managing larger properties, from scheduling repairs and upgrades to optimizing operations for long-term value.The ability to use AI tools for data analysis, market insights, and deal projections to help us act quickly and efficiently.I’ll be upfront—my funds are limited after dedicating the COVID years to supporting my family, but I have the work ethic and expertise to find and manage properties that perform.

I believe this is correct, but only limiting to 4 total.

For those with limited funds, starting your journey through wholesaling, can be a smart move.

But from what I've observed (and I'm sure you've seen too), only a few new investors, who are more analytical in nature, do this.One of the issues that I've seen again and again is new investors putting together a "spreadsheet" based on their limited understanding, that produces inaccurate or misleading numbers.

Kevin I’m not saying it’s a good or bad investment and this is nothing against your personally but at some point you will HAVE to fully dive in and fully understand the scope of your investment whether it’s turnkey or anything else if you are going to a chance at ‘controlling’ the outcome you are seeking.
