You don't need boots on the ground for this, just a daily commitment to progress.After you have some good leads, arrange in-person meetings with your top 3-5 relationships to see properties and move the relationships forward.

Here are the questions that appear most often on BP (just based on my observation - I did not do an actual count nor did a statistical analysis, and they're not arranged in any order):1.

If the bankruptcy was dismissed because you didn't follow through on the arrangements you made with the Court that could be a problem. 

Obviously flat fee or other arrangements could work, but you see my point.My experience with Financial Advisers is that they are mostly trying to sell insurance.
