That potential should not be "priced in" just because the seller know the opportunity is there but hasn't executed on it.

They have passive income and no worries, I acquire more properties, etc.And if we structure the initial deal correctly, we can execute this at a time that works for all of us.

Soon I will be executing a double closing in Boston and need a attorney who is familiar with the process.

Welcome Dre :)  Explore, learn and execute... then repeat.  

For us, the performance, execution, and quality of properties we purchase are more important than the volume we can bring to our website.

Planning, organizing, and preparing for proper execution is critical for this to go faster next time around.  

A tenant failed to pay a rent in Jan, and since then all our collection efforts were failed (he made all the executed, promises were broken and phone called were ignored etc.).  

Looking at the educational backgrounds of the top real estate investors/developers/executives in the country, one sees degrees from NYU, Columbia, Wharton, Michigan, Harvard; none list the Russ Whitney three day real estate independence system or Robert Allen's Nothing Down seminars.

I’ll then be applying what I’ve learned to further research, making connections in my area and looking for deals and opportunities to execute on. 

On occasion, that strategy is legit and defensible - somebody came along after hearing about the property you got under agreement and made an offer to you that was profitable, so rather than complicating matters with multiple closings, you and seller execute a release from the agreement and seller enters into agreement with the person wanting to buy.
