Hi Anthony, I would say that one of the best ways to get the ball rolling on this front is to define what a "good deal" is going to look like for you.

Please reach out with contact information and any questions you might have for me so we can get the ball rolling. 

Please don't tell me I need to network and raise the funds, I don't need to raise the money for this one, I have the investors (non accredited) I need to get the ball rolling and if you have any professional contacts that can help me achieve this, please share them.    

Any recommendations for a PM that is "on the ball", professional, and responsive?

I know this is a community of encouraging people and I was just looking at different avenue to keep the ball rolling.

Your realtor dropped the ball on this.

Ply hard ball with the builder, they are desperate right now to sell.

Get an idea of what houses in a particular area should sell for Put up alerts for same type of houses at the price I can pay and make a profit When I get an alert I call the listing agent. ask a few questions and put in a full price offer I don’t look to low ball.  

I definitely don't have a crystal ball but at the end of the day, its really the return that matters and not the price you paid. 

The two most important books every REI must know, and understand (this is where many drop the ball), Geometry and Algebra.
