So my passion for RE is owning and the thrill of the chase in finding diamonds in the rough. 

The other one is in a good area and was a true $0 down deal, so I am thrilled with 1.3% on it.

Perhaps, he has a favorite charity and would be thrilled if you volunteered for it.

I'm thrilled to have found Biggerpockets- what a gem of a website! 

Good luck to you it's a thrill getting your first deal! 

While I doubt that the thrill of property management is attractive to you I would encourage you to study different models (low>middle>high-end properties) and determine what you can glean from each holding strategy.This would put you in a better position to step back (as you are doing as evidenced by your post) and evaluate how the choice of tenant type is made as a marketing decision and then seek to acquire properties that match the profile of the tenant profile you seek.Here are the three property management courses that I believe best represent the three tiers: "Fixer" Jay Decima, Tenants and Toilets; Mike Cantu, Property Management Course, and David Tilney, Property Management (he lives in FL but his rental are higher-end in CO).I live in CA and am biased to only invest in CA real estate.

The elderly sellers netted more, I netted a higher wholesale fee, the builder was thrilled to get a lot within 5 minutes of downtown, and the whole street will benefit from the dilapidated, abandoned house being replaced with two new homes (duplex/condos).   

I am hoping to grow my business in both areas and am thrilled to be part of BiggerPockets!

Finally, my business partners and I are entering the real estate game and we could not be more thrilled!
