The reason I need to find my niche in wholesaling is because doing these type of deals will be the funding source for my business (you can read more about it in my profile) as my vision is designed around youth in foster care.

Even for those that feel the market isn't going to do anything but increase for the foreseeable future (I'm not one of those people...) it is hard to think you haven't missed the 3 best years of appreciation of the current cycle.If your vision is like 10 years that probably doesn't matter that much, if the plan is to gross a 20% profit in spring of 2018 (With minimal changes to the property) then I'd suggest having a viable plan B.

A Property manager might look 12 months out for maintenance tasks and annual budget, but board needs to have the long-term vision on upgrades/ repairs/replacements.

What are your plans/vision for 2016? 

If you have a clear vision of what you want, and you have a budget, and savings plan.

Create a new, exciting vision for your life since you only have 1 opportunity to make those dreams a reality.

Both these individuals  have the same longer term vision of building a portfolio of rental properties and can both bring additional capital to the table but have no experience with REI. 

Like I said, from what I can gather, if I can get enough good quality people working towards the same vision, anything can be accomplished.

Guys stay with and never let anything or anyone distract from your vision.

There may be very good reasons the property hasn't sold after a long time on market, or it may just be because most buyers have no vision.
