Find their background and see if you have things or interests in common and approach them that way (let's say alumni from xwz university or both love golf or are from the same religious affiliation).

In fact, NONE of these workshop leaders tell you anything you couldn't get from a good book for a fraction of the cost or right here for free at Bigger Pockets.https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Buying-Selling-Apartment-Buildings/dp/0471684058

  Hey bpf  question who would you recommend as a  leader for dscr loan and why please 

You're also facing so many additional factors/steps for a BRRRR deal such as sourcing deals below market, finding reliable contractors, up against other competitive investors, future market conditions/values, running numbers religiously, exit strategies, etc.

In addition, the deposit and cleanup amounts do deter people with ill intent from booking.Another more important strategy in deterring bad guests is to not be the low-price leader of the neighborhood.

Moreover, continue to save religiously and pay off any unnecessary debt you may owe. 

But I just felt strange that the last minute they decided to add a religious document to the contract.

Those are the game changers that early market leaders can take advantage of.
