In this phase, building a pipeline for off-market leads (vacant properties, tired landlords, pre-foreclosures) and networking with local agents, wholesalers, and property managers can give you that edge you're looking for beyond the MLS.

After 2 weeks of forms and all kinds of little add ons to the fee schedule that magically seemed to appear with each new form packet, my wife and I simply told them no thanks..we were tired of the games.

Even before Airbnb there were several times I would go to book properties with a management company and when I saw "Admin Fee" I left the site as to me it is an unethical practice (like requiring you to pay for nitrogen in tires when buying a new car). 

But the main points I want to get across are the below:1) Run the deal through the BP calculators and make your decision based on the numbers, not your gut, or the fact that you're tired of looking and just want to pull the trigger.2) Track your numbers from the start - either spreadsheet/quickbooks or some other platform where you are tracking down payment/pricipal and interest - as well as repairs and cap ex expenses, and ensure that you are not co-mingling the funds3) Have your platforms for checking backgrounds, collecting rents, fixing issues, property management stuff set up and ready to go - it's just helpful to know the platforms you want to use before you need them.

I have a million questions and am tired of YouTube and singular opinions. 

I got real tired of my mailbox filled with over inflated deals often with the same house from multiple "wholesalers". 

It started with a tired single-family home that needed a full rehab.

Quote from @Hassan Kareem: Hi Sean, hopefully you’re not tired of these replies, but can I get a copy of the log book as well.
