I was able to negotiate a great deal for them.

You also don't need good negotiating skills when wholesaling or retailing houses because you will almost always be offering cash.

Does anyone have any advice on how to negotiate a deal and or submit/write a contract for these properties?

By having renters run and pay for their own reports, there is no awkward discussions or negotiations on who should pay.

You can judge & critique the price of the property all day by what the seller asking price is, but real deals are made all day by consistently making offers and through delicate negotiations.

I've been involved in Real Estate as a licensed Easement/Right-of-Way Agent for the last 9 years working as a contractor in the oil & gas industry negotiating and acquiring pipeline easements.

But those numbers are completely false, at our agency, which is now over $2 Billion in premium written, per insurance journals' August 2015 rankings, and the fact that I deal in commission negotiations with I insurers I can say those commissions quoted are completely backwards.

Work with a company where you have the freedom to make offers and invest without the big company control over you.As an investor, you can negotiate with agents to do work for you (you know they work for free until something is sold) let them find deals for you, make mailings, call on bandit signs, for you, sot in rent and housing court to find leads, pay for advertising.

I found that I had real "knack" for contracts and negotiations.

There's a listing on Cimarron that currently has tenants and with a bit of negotiating might be able to get some positive cashflow.Also, are there any meetups coming up in this area?
