It's hard to give up when you have so much time and energy invested but this is a must when you realize a deal is not going anywhere.***** Anybody else want to share some "tough decisions" they've experienced recently?

My question pertains to quick screening suspect properties to qualify or disqualify them efficiently for a closer look. 

Schedule tours and ask them to make offers.The same approach applies to my 350,000sf warehouse project or the 1,000sf small user space.If you have the time and energy and willing to make the effort, you can do it. 

Even if paying contractors and building a team to do 100% of the work, meeting contractors, viewing properties, etc all take time away from a "real" job at best and more likely than not require time during work hours to do these and move quickly and efficiently. 

I’ve found that for the time investment it requires, I really don’t save that much doing it myself since I’m less efficient than the pros are.

@Alina Trigub & @Jay Hinrichs there are a few options regarding tax efficiencies for non-US citizens investing here. 

Trying to find ways to provide the most efficient and highest quality leads.

Now, if you decide you want to get your hands dirty and have the time/interest/energy to put in that kind of grind, then maybe your goals have shifted and wholesaling would be a good fit.

You will get minimal, if any, economies of scale and operational efficiencies at the unit size you're thinking about.

Best to focus your energy on what you can accomplish in the coming days and weeks.
