I'm not clear on how the fact that this is a two family influences those numbers.  

What/who influenced you to get in the wholesaling business?

whom do you see more often at a auctions - talk to real estate agents who deal with investors - who is their best client -You are looking for THE MAN - the person who is making things happen - this is the person you want to connect with.Don't over-look active investors on Bigger Pockets - it is OK to have a long distant Mentor.When you find THE MAN - the person who is making deals - bringing in $20,000 or much more a month - this is the person you want to FOLLOW ---So - how do you you worm yourself into his center of influence? 

It might be how good of a deal you got that influences them the most.The Bank might charge less interest if you qualify but they would look more at you instead of the project and usually take longer to approve the loan and it depends if time is an issue with the owner.A Hard Money Lender would probably be my last choice. 

Your analysis should really be independent of the influence a sales price may have.

I have moved to a new state and have ZERO contacts or Influence in Florida?

I am convinced staging can be a positive influence on the buyer.  

You won't, the listings gent may have to grant them access, but trying to influence them is a waste of time,you'd be the 400th to try, and they're immune to it.

He knew about business, legal issues, tax issues, marketing, sales, promotion, networking, and most importantly he knew about people (psychology).The first thing he did was tell me that I have two ears and one mouth, and I should listen more than I talk.Second thing he did was have me read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.Then he taught me how to set appointments with home sellers, go out to their home, and write up a "letter of intent to purchase or lease".He said to me, "your job is to bring me potential home sellers who will consider a creative offer."

Couple weeks ago, seven people through the house the first weekend, multiple offers, so I always expect my houses to sell within two weeks, they dont always, but I have sold enough the first weekend that I dont leave anything undone to negatively influence the potential buyers the first time they come through.
