I was agreeing about your comment as to having a mentor, then I realized I didn't have a mentor when I started.Brandon, there were books, I skimmed the "Paper Game" don't recall the author but it was conceptual and a little too fluffy for me, I didn't really start by using anything in that book, if I did, it was by accident.

I recently purchased the red planner workbook that goes with the book and I’m skimming the book again filling out my plan in the workbook.

Quote from @Michael S.: @Kim A. - patience is the key in this market right now, as many of the deals we've reviewed simply don't work. 

Milk is 3 dollars a gallon.

I've even heard of GCs using auction type settings for returned items at Home Depot and Lowes for steep discounts.I've learned a lot about the GC game as I was up close to over 40 projects last two years and some went well and some did not and when they did not it was all Contractor related.If a GC isn't sourcing cheap materials at the same time milking the hell out of his 150-200 per day workers, then you can find yourself eating into your margins real fast. 

The property owner always loses while the arbiter has no skin in the game at all, just skimming profits off of the owner and can walk away any time they want without reprocussions. 

Usually it's something like that I feel they are trying to milk the project for extra time when it should be just about done and they start showing up for half days half-assing it while clearly starting another project for someone else.

I am willing to be dollars to donuts that most of your Section 8 tenants are able-bodied humans intelligent enough to get a job and pay their way through life, but they somehow manage to milk the system.

They have a set of character traits in mind, and they skim through websites, skipping and skipping until they find one person who possesses the traits they expect their ideal cash buyer to have.I’ve developed a concept that’s generating me more leads and deals than anyone can imagine.

You might’ve already stated how you was harmed I just skimmed through the thread so if you already said my apologies.
