Blind faith that things will just work out is not a good thing to bet on.Work hard. 

Of even greater interest is identifying resources and individuals that can help me complete investments outside of California in less capital intensive real estate markets. 

I am looking at buildings that are 8-20 units, rehab intensive .

Hello Kevin, how did this venture all work out?

So I would like to just point out the assistance that we were able to provide when things did not work out perfect. 

I tend to shy away from "assignments" as well, even though they do work out sometimes.Like @Brett Snodgrass, I am a full time "wholesaler" and pride myself on offering quality opportunities and try to leave plenty of "meat on the bone" for the next guy.  

It's been somewhat intense getting started on the first flip, but I'm sure that is normal and to be expected.

The podcasts are also a great way to learn the lingo while you workout, drive to work, etc..

You could work out a step-down agreement in addition to the term length; i.e. 1st deal with this lender, fee is 1%, 2nd deal is 0.75%, 3rd deal 0.50% fee3.
