Also just look online and steal some ideas...I used to Google Luxury Kitchens and then figure out how to do the same for less $$.You'll be fine with your experience.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Wait, I get it, their online reputation will be enough of a guarantee for you!

Removing all skills from the equation, if you don't take a break from participating as a real estate investor in some way each day, you will stay far ahead of everyone else who keeps subbing themselves out and then asking to get back in when the game is already out of reach.

Early on, I was locked into a competitive mindset, but once I started collaborating—whether with wholesalers bringing me deals or flippers looking for exit strategies—it became a game-changer and ultimately made me more successful.

This is a numbers game so you may have to take an aggressive approach towards negotiating several deals before one of them actually works out.

I am taking your advise, and switched my game plan to include a local agent or property manager to show the properties. 

That drive is what sets apart winners in this game. 

Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.

 try one of those online sources like prosper etc.
