Talk to the investor, find out what their intentions are, you may find that they bring a lot to the table to make everyone's world a better place.

Once the value is established, your options will open up.  

The technology side has always vexed me and I understand that your ability to efficiently and quickly market your wholesale deals to as many investors as possible is critical to establishing your credibility and presenting your properties in the best possible light. 

My goal is to acquire additional rentals in the future, but I realize that I have a lot to learn about the business.

Is it possibe to find longer terms if I don't already have an established relationship with these CD persons/entities?

There's a lot to learn when going through a deal like this though.  

On the other hand when you walk through a house that was built in the 1970's in a well established neighborhood and you walk inside and it feels brand new and everything is done right that is a product you can take pride in offering and a family can feel safe buying.  

This is a very fundamental principle of real estate deals and there is a lot to learn after 6 deals.This is coming from someone that had the same opinion that realtors were not adding much to my deals, and were actually slowing deals down with slow communication and lack of nerve for nonconventional offers and situations.  

Start building the relationship with the right agent, so that you have your "team" established when the other pieces are in place.

I am willing to do what it takes to be successful and I hope to establish great connections and partnerships through this forum as well as help to empower and inspire others as well.
