Especially with the financial aspect of the business, as that is my weak spot.

Find their weaknesses and that can help you to emphasize what you can do better. 

Don't focus on your weakness.

If the long term prospects for your location are weak, you might want to take your profit when you can, and redirect it to a better location.

We are looking to invest in the area find him a place to live during the weak while he works and maybe invest at the same time.

Only weak brokers who lack investor relationships need an exclusive to conduct business. 

A weak economy making it hard for people to do business is the wrong recipe in my opinion. 

We will raise 9 months of principle and interest reserves (along with the funds to close and Capex) but I want to have a clear picture of what each month will look like so we can plan for any weak spots up front.I am not an Excel wizard so if anyone has a tool they can share for this type of budgeting that would be spectacular. 

I feel my biggest weaknesses from not being "in the game" are estimating rents/expenses for my projections.

@Allison PanilaIf we shadows have offended,Think but this, and all is mended,That you have but slumber'd hereWhile these visions did appear.And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream,Gentles, do not reprehend:if you pardon, we will mend:And, as I am an honest Puck,If we have unearned luckNow to 'scape the serpent's tongue,We will make amends ere long;Else the Puck a liar call;So, good night unto you all.Give me your hands, if we be friends,And Robin shall restore amends.1.
