I'm sure the experts have gained experience from on the job, but how are beginner investors supposed to determine on a whim what will need fixing and how much it'll approximately cost? 

Considering you're a Pro, I was hoping to gain some info as to whether or not a property that I am about to get under contract is a concrete deal.

The business will first focus on building up its property management division of the business to gain immediate access to cash flow and profitability.

May be able to avoid capital gains taxes all together if you have the right timeline...

Do you simply ask, create a presentation and offer them insight to what they would gain.

I gained a lot of experience with the A/R system and with eSign for leases.

more points to add... once you get in the middle of a claim for yourself you will gain experience that IS very valuable for anyone with property (experience probably worth more than the10-20% your PA will take along with your chance to learn) .  

I was hoping for a cheaper house (40k-50k PP with rehab/closing costs of 10k-20k total) Nothing big just want to start of with something small to gain the experience and hopefully a little bit of capital to repeat!

Does location play a role in gaining profit as a wholesaler?

Other than the basics of introducing myself and presenting the intent, is there anything else you would include to gain the desired attention?
