So they will again fish..

There are ALWAYS going to be "bigger fish to fry".In each deal, with all of the different moving parts, if someone is more focused with what is on "your arm", than the deal in front of them they need to wrap "their arms" around, then they are taking their eye off the ball and probably not seeing the whole bigger(pockets) picture.

Now if they are not paying at all thats a different kettle of fish. 

You probably want to have everything planned out up front, but I think you have bigger fish to fry right now: the two biggest challenges you have to tackle  first are finding a deal and finding a contractor.Inventory and supply have been extremely effected by Covid, while buyer activity level is trough the roof, also fueled by extremely low interest rates.

I understand that things are competitive and im a small fish in the ocean but I don’t care.

I think Soldotna is a great location as prices aren't as high, there's still fishing, and it's half the drive.

 Hey Gary,We have found in the past that the most efficient way to get it now on days is to create your own list of interested buyers and sellers from a landing page on your website that will require all of the information you need in order to make a decision upfront if the lead is a good fit or not and then close it.In order to do so, you would like to create a Shopify website in which you will list all of your properties and attract quality traffic through paid search and social media, then guide the interested people in to your landing page, this way you will create your own converting customers' database, way cheaper than fishing huge outdated databases.Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to ask,Cheers.

we love fly fishing.  

Moreover, with the markets as strong as they are in this area and the economy in general, you're fishing in heavily fished waters. 

that area is one of the areas of rural or semi rural Washington that was or has been in steep decline with the decline in the fishing industry and logging industry.. and so its an area you can find those beater houses that work for BRRR.. that used to be the case in Longview but that's got spill over from PDX finally and prices have really firmed up but its a tough rental crowd .. don't kid yourself..
