A lot of the time someone successful in the real estate business does not have a TON of spare time to spend educating someone newer so you need to find ways to create value for them in order to build a fruitful relationship 

@James Galla what I mean is, for previous work, there was never a charge for coordinating maintenance, I have witnessed them with the most recent bills for similar work and was advised that this has always been the policy, and when I advised of the previous work and never a maintenance "coordination fee", I was advised that those were waived (believe this is a convenient excuse to squeeze the orange as hard as possible, seeing how this relationship is circling the drain, or to start charging when they should have previously - I believe it's the former).

From the experience I have as a wholesaler I've discussed the % of the deal that my investors look for but what I find is that they're always in search of that unicorn 50%, 60%, or even 70% deal these days when there are so many low hanging fruit ~75% deals that can still bring a really great chunk of change on the back end.

Also, what are your opinions on the Apartment Association of Orange County?

Attempts to get a hold of the buyers haven't been fruitful.
