Each of you are bringing different "skills" to the deal.  

I would also encourage you to identify your skill sets, personal attributes, and your REI Objectives and Goals.

Once your processing is down solid, your ad writing skills are refined and you have a budget, that is the perfect storm! 

Suggest you create a general format script and identify the key factors that help you make a personal connection with a principal, identify the opportunity to solve one in more problems and determine if it's a 'now' problem or your (qualified) prospect needs nurturing.Also, create a spirit of helpfulness.Curiously, after a stroke cleared my RAM memory done years ago, my telephone sales skills were completely gone and this was both frustrating and a bit astonishing.

Just don't pay too much for it, use your rehab skills to factor what the rehab will cost, with other holding/closing costs & make sure you can make a profit, otherwise, just like a bad rehab, you could lose some, most, or all of your investment in so many different ways. 

And only experience is the best teacher ;)I quickly realized you also need management and communication skills.
