@Rein Garcia My business is run almost exclusively with VA's...support staff is local just because it makes sense as she improves her skill-set and grows with the company into other positions...programmers, coders, mapping solutions, website design, all branding and design work is completed by VA's...

Relentless, I decided to pursue higher pay and started applying to places that I believed would shell out more money for my entry level skills.

(And yes, if you manage your retirement savings with Fidelity, you're using tools that were built by myself and the team I led.)I am hoping to connect with other like-minded folks here, as well as those whose interests and skills complement my own.

I spent 5 years learning management from a distance, repairs/maintenance/rehabbing skills, and small town investing.

Always and Will Happen seems like a con job.That's the kind of stuff they told Kamikaze pilots in WWII.I think good interpersonal skills, good business skills, good judgement, hard work and industry knowledge are much more likely to carry you forward in this business than an "Always" Will Happen" mantra of some book writer.Just my 2 cents, because your guess is as good as mine as to what it means exactly.Good Luck!  

To best advise you, I would need a lot more information about the strategy (BRRRR, fix & flip, buy & hold), the properties (cost, condition, ARV, vacancy, current rent, etc), and you (skills, employment, income, DTI, home ownership, equity in your home, and down payment / amount of savings)

First, learn the process which could be explained in these simple steps:Step 1: Market to motivated sellers Step 2: Sign purchase contract with the seller Step 3: Find cash buyerStep 4: Sign contract with cash buyer for a higher price and collect 2k deposit Step5: Close Transaction via Assignment or Double Closing and Collect your checkSecond, learn has much as possible about the 5 skills needed to be a Pro at wholesaling.

Social skills are rapidly declining in this country in my opinion.

Once you do this for a while and work with a lot of different agents you realize there is a huge difference in skill and knowledge.

Do you have the skills to pick?
