There is wholesale deal potential, I can meet rehabbers, and keep an ear to the ground for great contractors, and sure, I can put a buyer on a property before it hits the market. 

I got my PM license in August 2015 and hit the ground running to find a mentor then started to work part time as a PM in October.

Trust me, I have had more than one PM drive a property of mine into the ground.

It's a long story on why I feel this way, it has to do with how VC money are invested in high-tech in Silicon Valley these days (and I have boots on the ground myself), how irrational are buyer offers and why they offer 20% over the listing price of $1MM? 

I was just trying make friends and learn from people on the ground the lay of the land.Again I apologize

I have a few experts I work directly with and they do intensive vetting of all the turnkey providers out there and meet them in person, hang out with their ground teams for a few days, etc.

Then your business partner can see how well it looks and gets on board fully with the idea or stands his ground with cold feet.

That said I usually buy my house under 30k but I am my own boots on the ground. 

It sounds like you are on pretty firm ground.

@Doug Pretorius LOL, just giving the ground work so that those with logic could understand, probably made a mistake with such an assumption. :)Yes, my last option deal was written on a yellow pad, had it formalized just prior to closing.
