What types of deals are you needing to fund and what is the exit strategy?

Do you have any idea as to your strategy yet?

It's a great strategy by having a larg amount of cash at once (when you sign off) and time off between ships to put your energy into investments.

Next I would start with determining your market strategy and how you are going to implement.

I source through dozens a week.

Jonathan, I would not discourage this investment strategy.  

So I need them gone; it was the sellers' responsibility to get that done; and it's gonna cost me a lot of money because they didn't.I think my strategy here will be to wait to close until they vacate, but ask them to make a concession on their selling price to reflect the costs I'm incurring.  

I am looking for an online marketing strategy or a professional who can help us manage our online presence. 

I love it when people share there thinking behind there strategy.

Without any data from your profile, I can only assume you're trying to  use the wholesaling strategy.
