The value wholesalers provide is often in collaboration, I know contractors (good ones), agents, money men, and the process.

So you have to step back and prioritize.

I then prioritize the clubs based on how hard they continually pitch me to buy things from them.  

26 year old, Washington DC metro area CPA looking to collaborate with a local real estate investor.

Thanks for all the collaboration.

Time management, prioritization, ability to say no & business accumen are more likely.Folks you get what you pay for and if you want to develop relationships with the agents at the top of their field and or the experts in the area you need to act like a professional.

For these areas where retail should have not built in what possibilities do we have here.These are the areas that we can collaborate on creating financial growth. 

This is an effort so I don't have to use the high priced vendors that screw us out of state investors.Would anyone like to add value to my list and we can collaborate on this brain trust?

As long as you are aware of what keeping the truck will potentially cost you in the long run (from an investment perspective), it's up to you what you want to prioritize. 

I live in Irvine, I'd be happy to grab coffee and see how we could maybe collaborate on deals.
