Or even missing out on securing a better deal, higher price, or greater return but did not do so, often due to a lack of negotiation or oversight.

I’d love to hear about your recent successes, challenges, and what’s working in your market, especially when it comes to the process of finding good deals, putting them together and making a profit.
