When a potential tenant objects to electric heat, tell them that they gain the benefit of the heat rising from the unit below at no cost to them!

I have a trip planned in a couple of months to do some exploring of a potential areaand feel encouraged by having such a wealth of information available here and the certainty that when I come up with a new plan or idea there is a generous community to help me look at it with experienced and objective minds.

Additionally, if we continue the cash approach it will surely take us longer to reach our objective.

Purpose of meetup is to get to know them better, what is their background, REI experiences, objectives to determine some level of suitability and interest in what we are doing.  

I make this contingency perfectly clear to the seller at the time of signing and haven’t had anybody object to it yet.

The first 2 steps in our process with any client is to (1) first determine the clients goals and objectives for the investment (i.e. additional cash flow, retirement vehicle, wealth building, etc.) and then (2) secondly to explain the market in which we invest - explicitly.I would recommend that you start by defining the goal of your investment before doing anything else.

Some degrees demonstrate your ability to think objectively, in the abstract, applying theory more than others and such allow greater recognition for that accomplishment. 

Our primary objective is to increase our capital to make a larger deal within 1 year of our first purchase.

Taking a course so you can walk through the property and point out things yourself doesn't hold water -- home inspections give the buyer and seller a third party, objective and disinterested opinion about the physical condition of the property to fine-tune the deal.

Also, what happens if I have removed contingencies and then find my end buyer that I want to assign it to and the seller objects and won't give consent?
