I'm a newbie investor and I'm still fishing for my first deal.

You basically have access to 15+ speakers who present on their flipping and wholesaling businesses (I'm the smallest fish out of this year's line up), and other business owners attend as well. 

There are plently fish in the sea.

Or do SS investors fish with low EMD and then step up if it looks like it will get accepted?

Based on your blog I think you will know the statement that it is better to teach someone to fish then to just feed them.

And I find that landing several big fishes (Commercial properties) that feeds you longer is better than managing 40-50 properties and barely breaking even.

There seems to be one big fish builder who can handle the Land Purchase cost and build cost involved to experience the 7 figure high demand price points.

But sometimes people are stubborn and fell insulted, if thats the case, give the seller your card and tell them if they change there mind to call you.. then just walk away... there are plenty of other fish in the sea
