But most of the positive reviews I see only mention the initial presentation (which reviews always comment on how great and informative they were).

Hey @Michael Brattelli, thanks for the comment!

Some of those markets are good, but you shouldn't pay attention to people offering you advice on your first post on the site with a vested interest in their comment.There are several comments above that are solid and not about an agent's market.

Some lending attorneys now recommend interviewing your borrower in a recorded Zoom call, using scripted questions, to document their intentions.Your list and communication clause comments, @Jonathan Chan, appear to reflect a do-it-yourself approach.

@Dennis Boettjer - everyone's comments above are correct. 

I can comment on cash deals.

I really like this and I will follow it.One last comment, if I want to focus on finding deals, what are the most efficient/productive ways to find them?

I rushed over and when I got there I found about 20 couples, all obvious newbies....the comments I overheard were - "I don't like the color of the walls in the entry"...."

At some point the House wins.To put it in Self storage terms, very similar to my C market comment above.

TIAErich  Erich - I would echo other's comments, but also point you in the direction of a Bigger Pocket book, "Estimating Rehab Costs" - It's a 2019 version, so the actual dollar amounts will need to be increased, but it can give you a good starting point for the process that you can refine/update over time.
