I'm newbie,  I made a offer on a short sale then I found out that the process could take very long, so I decided to look for another property, as a first timer, should I leave that short sale offer open and and start another property?

For the most part after reading quite a bit of forum post, listening to Podcasts, reading blog post, and a few articles I'm familiar with the process.

I'm very green at this and I am in the process of submitting an offer on my 1st probate deal so forgive my innocence if this question sound very mundane. 

During all this process i have spent a lot of money to do home inspection, paying the seller a option fee, paying the earnest deposit.

As a result and from a tax planning perspective, individuals will process partial Rothconversions each year and higher amounts in years that they don't have high earned income earnings because the amount converted from the IRA to the Roth IRA is included in your taxable income for the year of Roth conversion.

You may message me, I would love to guide you through the process : )

If you like them, and they seem like a good fit, then ask if you were to find some deals, if you could bring the deals to them for them to buy and then offer a 60/40 split (they get 60%) if they'll agree to walk you through the process of closing on it/selling it.

How do you go about this process when you are dealing with a realtor. 

It will be slow going at first, it always is, but in the beginning you are laying the foundation for you future RE empire, so it is critical IMO that you do not try to side step or shortcut the process.
