Brokers' poor reputation has caused many brokers to rebrand themselves as “Commercial Real Estate Advisors” or “Real Estate Consultants.”This is similar to the Wealth Management and insurance industries, where commissioned salespeople pretend to be professionals who always keep the client’s best interests in mind.

These are the first things that come to mind as I run through this. 

I'm developing someone else's dream and NOT minding my own business. 

Looking forward to connect with like-minded folks and exchange opportunities. 

BiggerPockets is definitely a great place to meet like minded investors and gain a TON of knowledge!

I'm sure you're doing this but analyze the deal in as clear minded a way as possible.

Find a partner who can put in the capital or There are private/hard money lender that will let you put 10% down payment and  they will finance 100% rehab cost. keep in mind the rate will be a lot higher and they charge point (2%) but they can close fast and you might be able to negotiate the purchase price even lower. 

Yes, they are few and far between, but keep in mind deals are made by making offers.

My mind thinks in terms of IRR, and Cash on Cash, so those numbers woudl be super helpful as well! 

One other thing to keep in mind from his comments--the key to a good deal is a seller that is motivated and NEEDS to sell (as opposed to just WANTS to sell.)I often make 3 offers:  all cash, 50% of market value.
