Also, if neither you nor your partner have aggressive personality, perhaps it's a matter of finding another partner.

By help, I'm not talking about housekeeping, buying supplies, syncing different programs, and such. 

Also we were able to add my MIL to the account so if she needs to buy supplies or pay contractors she can.

It doesn’t sound like the seller wants to sell quickly for cash if he’s already had 6 people come who are writing up offers yet he still wants to keep showing it to 3 more people next week.If you can’t be the most aggressive on price then you need to offer the best terms based on the sellers needs and situation.

I attended the annual state of the market meet up here in Fayetteville and there is a lack of supply of affordable housing ($150k-$250K).

Without the know how, there won’t be many sales which means very little money for me.I have done a good bit of research and some people have told me starting out while I should be attentive to both, I should be slightly more aggressive in getting buyers at first rather than listers.

buy low, sell high. right now tampa is high, artificially high due to low supply and high demand. you cant go wrong selling, plus you would not get hit with capital gains tax if you are living there.

I do not include the cost of financing, although I include every other expense:Credit card fees, advertising, repairs, maintenance, utilities, supplies, taxes, and insurance.If you buy a property at .15 or better, it should still positive cash flow even with a 30 year mortgage and management fee. 

Just depends on supply and demand and even that will vary depending on price points. 

The alternative is to spend a few bucks at Tractor Supply and trap and move it yourself but again sometimes things are just worth paying for.
