Bring deals to them constantly, strategize on how you're going to put a deal together.

I'm thinking of any ways to make sure I'm prepared and able to think strategically with investing and flipping houses.

If you are strategic about your offers and explain the reasoning behind your offer (and not that your reasoning is "I want to make a bundle of money"), you will go further and keep your reputation.

I have designed a strategic plan on how to get the job done(won't go into detail on that just  yet).Now once the building is gutted and scrapped it will essentially be a useless shell, now I only want it for its scrap value, how would I dump it/ get it out of my hands once I've stripped it clean. 

In the strategic sense...lower return deals in the initial stages could reduce my compounding into other deals in the future and crush me later.In a separate topic, I was calculating the effect of a 1% fee on my 401K and found that over 30 years...that equates to 30% lower returns in the end. 

Keep in mind you had true defaults and you had strategic defaults big difference.. 

Were those low ball offers or strategically placed offers?  

I want to use that 30,000 as strategically as I can..

Estimate expenses based on how you will run the property.With revenue in hand, expenses covered, and cash needed, you can now formulate an offer that will let you cover all of this and the debt service.If you plan to get conventional financing and the loan is less than 500K you will need to approach a small / local bank.
