can keep them engaged.

Thank you everyone  for engaging on my posts as I ramp up towards my first deal!

I strongly suggest engaging the services of a consultant or advisor to assist you with this matter.

He engaged in about 70 land development and business partnerships in which he was the operating partner.  

@Trenton Pelloquin There are certainly benefits to QBO, including the fact that many in the industry players are using it, which could facilitate delegation of bookkeeping activities and tax preparation. 

In my area it's a mix of boutique local commercial shops and the big national players. 

If by real estate business you’re implying you have little or no money to invest but are contemplating using one of the guru inspired methods (subject to, “wholesaling” , fix n flip) to create cash flow, I’d encourage you to do research on the true success/failure rate of people who engage in these endeavors, the amount of money the successful operators spend monthly on marketing, and the real time commitment and knowledge and experience necessary for success.  

@Ryan MarbleOrlando and Tampa are definitely different markets but like most markets, design and amenities tend to be the key players.

They may even engage in intense, detailed negotiations.

I'll say, it's a good sign that the founder/owner is willing to engage questions.
