@Thomas S.Thanks so much for sharing your system and mentality. 

I keep hearing in the podcasts how hard is to find a good contractor that can work well with investors, that can save them money and time, I also heard that you gotta make sure you find the right agent that understand the investors approach and mentality so you don't waste time in bad leads, right now I'm having problems finding good leads where the numbers make sense to purchase, I also heard how hard it is to find a good property manager that is smart and creative and can maximize your cash-flow. 

I'm preparing myself mentally to keep looking for my next deal if my offer gets rejected and also lining up contractors to do the renovations in case my offer is accepted as well.  

We have been getting our ducks in a row (finacially and mentally) for selling when the price is right.  

At this point I rather just pay a experienced person or firm to hands on share their knowledge and resources with me to help me and my business grow than to go through the mentally draining process of trying to find a knowledgeable and experienced investor to take a liking to me and be willing to help me.
