There are tons of very seasoned, lightly seasoned, and ready to be seasoned investors at those events.  

I'm still looking for another.I would appreciate some feedback from all you seasoned veterans!!

Did they require two years of seasoning on your properties? 

I'm even finding my bank will waive any seasoning.  

Also got lucky at Lowes for outdoor pillows , end of season / clearance.

Harry, always got to steal my thunder...Just kidding.I'm a seasoned investor and at the minimum, it helps me gauge my rehab estimates and play a conservative approach if the prices are higher than normal.Not to mention, knowing I could produce the labor and material costs at a much more reasonable discount.I too find it Super useful!

Then you have more avenues available to negotiate a purchase.This post would be the length of a football field to outline in detail step by step and educate you about commercial property acquisition, as you requested.It would be best, IMHO, to work with a seasoned commercial loan broker to help you with all your lending questions.

Aside from learned knowledge through the internet, what hands-on, hard and soft skills would you seasoned veterans of the industry recommend to learn/work? 

I have had only 2 pieces of furniture broken in 5 seasons.

Shoot as many holes as you can think of in this property, I want to train myself to catch all the things that seasoned guys would see.
