Well, spend a lot (too much actually) time grooming my contact list. 

Bigger Pockets has groomed me to aim for a 10%-12% COC ROI, 8% at the lowest.

I know I will probably get blasted for saying this, but the more respectful a person’s grooming habits are the more responsible they will appear in many a seller’s mind. 

Some are groomed into lifelong assistance and accept it as normal.

@Sam Grooms.

@Sam Grooms @Kyle Kovats @Greg Dickerson @Jerel Ehlert Thanks to you all for your responses and for taking a moment to dig in. 

I'd look for a well-trained, friendly, well-groomed/kept dog.

Yes assuming I have a PM for my properties but I also plan to employ younger members of my family to groom them to continue the business.

The level of knowledge exchange is low and this post is the evidence of the poor mentality of many people who do not appreciate educationGetting the right mentor who is a practitioner and has a structure you can join is the teal game changer.In closing, in case I was not clear on why that mentor who is a multimillionaire many times over does these handful of seminars in California each year and upsells his $30,000 four day intensive event, well it is to groom his students to do the joint venture agreements with him on commercial deals, to drop their taxes and use the tax savings and to become Co-sponsors in his real estate funds and compound everyone’s returns including his.
