I'm happy to teach what I do to others we have 2 deals done this year from my "bird dog's".  

Track how valuable your keywords are by using KPIs (key performance indicators).

I am going to work to secure my contract and do my due diligence with all of your valuable advice.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a popular book, but it is also fantasy, entertaining to read, but it doesn't teach reality or the basic knowledge needed to be successful in an industry.I'm always saying "learn real estate before trying to deal in real estate"!

You should attend both meetings before making any offers unless you have some valuable real estate knowledge you haven't mentioned or have independent confirmation that it is an exceptional investment.  

Offer something that will be more valuable to the people you are trying to appeal to (homeowners in financial distress).

Find those in your area who have a great deal of success in real estate investing, then and offer to bring them any deals you come upon so they can teach you how to properly do a deal even if you only get a small amount of the profits.

I have one but it's a valuable part of my business

I'd love a career in real estate where a JD is an asset and would give valuable experience for one day becoming a cashflow-oriented RE investor. 

There are times when the "money guy" is very valuable and would warrant at least 50% of company.
