I think in a tight market cherry picking is necessary to survive. You have to make sure that you have a good pre-qual process in place so you don't overlook anything, but when it comes to doing actual deals, it's all about conserving your time, energy and ability to focus.Cheers, Thomas .-= Thomas Bartke´s last blog ..<a href="http://cawholesaledeals.com/blog/667/overwhelmed-by-short-sales/" rel="nofollow">Overwhelmed by Short Sales?</a> =-.

When I was hungry for property I would write an offer on any house. No matter how low.Now I am a bit more picky and try to focus on working with people I know. This is a good reminder that I should go after everything again. .-= Steve´s last blog ..<a href="http://buildbankroll.com/2009/10/house-23-wholesaled/" rel="nofollow">House #23 Wholesaled</a> =-.

This keeps everyone on their toes. I let everyone know I want to close fast and I set a deadline. If the other party is not ready within a reasonable period of time, I send them to the sin bin (End of the line). I work with a first come, first served mentality. This keeps everyone on their toes.
