Sometimes they are hard to read as they are hand written. 

I usually search for properties on my own and contact the owner via door knocking or sending them a hand written letter.

@Grant Rothenburger and @Paul CaputoI failed to mention that we really need to get the concrete work done and don't have that cash on hand, so will need to finance that much at least.  

I read a few different articles and any first hand knowledge is very helpful and appreciated.

On the other hand I understand I'm unproven to each person I sit in front of and I find myself asking what the relationship is worth.I'm curious if some of the more experienced buy and hold investors had the same problem when first establishing their commercial relationships.Do I just need to suck it up and establish the relationship at the lesser valuation?  

Wow this thread has gotten out of hand.

On the other hand, another brokerage company said that they wouldn't mind taking me on part time.

I just wouldn’t want to spend that time and work and then find out that it ties my hands in some situations.

I recently finished up a handful of years as a Naval Officer and relocated to Greeley.

That said...You get hand-holding and piece of mind.Some gurus will sponsor a deal for you (if it makes sense for them) and more than likely, offer to buy your deal from you.
