I want to encourage you to BE PATIENT DURING YOUR SEARCH. 

With that being said, I think this is a great lesson as a new investor to learn the value of staying patient and waiting for the right time.

I waived late fees and was patient and things worked out but it was hard.

I could be patient and wait to find a deal not unlike how this one first began.For instance, she bought the property at auction for 80K.

You may think that property prices are appreciating and you are losing time but be patient to buy in.Turnkey is not the only game in town, you can buy off market , wholesale deals etc. 

Screening makes or breaks it, so be patient, careful and do all the due diligence needed with checking people's references and employers.   

There are great tenants out there- as a landlord you have to be patient and screen properly.

We would then rent a new space in the same park as our current main office for about 10k a month and have that be our main office.Assuming both situations work just as well for the company as far as patient treatment and meet all other needs, which would be the best move financially moving forward for my partner and I?

Get in the network and the deals will come, but be patient it takes years to earn trust and create a network.
