I’m going to go with what you said and try to approach it as that cause I feel like I’ll be mentally prepared as well.

I agree, once you analyze enough properties you’ll be able to glance at the numbers and short cut mentally even further.

So that they have a little on going skin in the game if they feel it is truly a good dealIn my experience I have not seen that.. wholesalers are all about getting paid up front.. end of that discussion.. many need the money to keep feeding the marketing machine and simply are not financially able to take back end profits .. thinks more of a used car salesmen mentality than a sophisticated JV partner

You also need to understand landlord-tenant law better than your tenants.Understand tenant mentality.  

They are not mentally challenged like you or the state of Florida think they are.

I mentally "know" my property taxes across all my properties (except my personal home) average out to be a total of $315/month. 

It almost sort of seems like a crowd mentality.

Go spend a year or two putting families in homes, focused 100% on that, and nothing else, not even having the mental capacity to ask unrelated questions (you're working 70 hours a week getting your super basic-level business just barely up and running, you don't have time for such nonsense).

They had paid to have serious sound insulation installed, and they rehearsed all the time. 

I just bought a lot to build a home on  and I am making MUCH smaller monthly payments on my lot and it is a mental drag.
