Hello, my name is Renee and I am preparing retire at the end of this year.

I have found a property that I am very interested in and am prepared to move along with an offer.

I do have experience but all I learned is to post signs that don't work, and call people all day on craigslist, I did come close to having a contract 3 instances but I was not prepared and ready that's the main reason why I'm looking for someone to guide me.

That's a question you would do well to ask yourself and then prepare to answer.

Have your attorney prepare the sub2, wrap, or lease option assignment docs, and have the seller go down to the attorney's office and sign.These 2 steps allow you to have a solid deal that does not unravel, stops "buyer's remorse".Here is my letter of intent for lease option assignment.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B410Qg6zTH1EUFdQe...from there you can market for the tenant buyer.

It's best to overcome those tendencies with preparation through studying comparable values and the developing a model that fits your goals.

Be prepared for lots of "hurry up and wait."

Not only did he show up on time, with paperwork prepared with information on the property, pointing out both good AND BAD aspects of the property, he was educated on the area and shared his knowledge, he was extremely personable and was able to carry on a conversation with my significant other while I went in and took my usual videos/made my lists/etc. 

I'm prepared to discuss with his boss and the City Supervisor.

@Margo Roberts , thank you, I know bookkeeping, payroll and tax preparation so maybe that could be something I can offer someone in exchange for their mentorship.
