I'm a quick learner with excellent social skills, but I'm somewhat of an introvert.

This is an excellent place to gain more information and meep other investors.  

I am looking at a property that is in excellent condition, fewer than $500 needed in repairs, just minor fixes for a backyard fence.

The best thing you can do is always work out the deal in a spreadsheet like excel. 

If you get it, excellent!

@Tee Allen Driving for dollars is an excellent way to create your own targeted marketing list.

I'm sure it varies, but I have gotten excellent deals from wholesalers for flips.

Here are some steps to get started.Step 1) Develop your Business Model (Who is your ideal seller, buyer, neighborhoods, etc)Step 2) Build a Team (Leverage their experience, Realtor, Attorney, Contractors, Surveyor, Home Inspector, Environmental Contractor, Architect, Structural Engineer, Stage, Photographer, Title Company, etc)Step 3) Understand your market like the back of your hand (Have a Realtor set you up on HOT SHEETS so you get automatic listings sent to your inbox and you can start getting a pulse on the market)Step 3) Find a Deal (Package the deal and show supporting evidence that it's a good deal, get an appraisal if you have to) Include the following: Company Bio w/ your team members on it, Property Details, Property Tax Card, Scope of Work, Pictures/Video, Comparables, Financial Analysis, Due Diligence Items, and Contact Information.Step 4) Find Private Lender Prospects- Sphere of influence, networking events, ask for referrals, ask CPA, ask attorney, etc.

I'm a designer/photographer/videographer by trade, so this is a relatively "simple" task for me to do on my own.

Excellent Advice. l need to work on making these processes more efficient in order to increase the overall productivity.
