These are three phases in the buying process where the buyer could walk away from the deal.

Too many investors waste time chasing bad deals, overpaying, or relying on outdated strategies. 

Following as I deal with STR in the lake region.

I have called some local lenders (I prefer to deal with local banks if possible), but have not gotten very far.

There are good deals in all of them

Your deal finder (agent/wholesaler)3.

The propertybis almost sold, and i have already searched for other rentals in the vegas area with some in mind if the deal goes through.Thanks

Both of those could put an investor where you are today - unfortunately.I can tell you that I believe I've avoided these types of issues from happening on my deals because I joined coaching programs and had mentors.

You can find some 2 units under or around $250K but they have been sitting on the market for over 150 days which tells you its not a great deal if it were an investor woud have already purchased it 4 month ago.  

I don't know about you but I am constantly on the hunt for consistency, consistency of income, of deals, of productivity, in my relationships...so that's my focus in all things not just real estate.So my vision to your question is a a state of total consistency of income and deals.I'm focused on the basics, which to drive me is even more specifically "making offers."
