@Cody Jiosa I would also think about "what can you bring to the table" in these potential deals or partners? 

Then, they just deal with issues as they arise.- MFR: depends on type.

I thought it was very good, but possibly should have spent more time on deal flow.  

This may be  a long shot, but would love to perhaps partner with, work out a deal with someone that does flips in my area.

There's now a credibility crisis with AI-generated reviews; one 2025 study found nearly 1 in 4 Zillow agent reviews may be AI-written.The sad truth is, it takes more work creating a fake reality than living in reality.This is unnecessary and comes from a scarcity mindset.The agents and investors I've seen trying to find a hack the most are usually the ones who work the hardest, literally.I'd rather have 1 deal per month and have longevity than have 100 deals done in 2026 but risk lawsuits and getting blacklisted.The smartest work you can do is to remain trustworthy.

This will mean you will do less deals and have to wait for the right deal. 

There are people who speciailize in these kinds of deals.

I run a Co-Investing Club where we invest passively in real estate deals, usually putting in smaller amounts like $5K at a time so we can diversify and spread risk.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Quote from @Yousef Hossam: After seeing how people work their pipelines, I realized something surprising:Many deals are lost after the seller already showed interest.Not from lack of leads, but from:Late repliesMissed follow-upsNotes scattered across toolsNo defined lead stagesNo accountability on daily pipeline actionsThe person who consistently close more usually have:One place where every conversation is loggedClear stages (New → Contacted → Follow-Up → Appointment → Contract)Automated or scheduled remindersA daily or weekly pipeline reviewNext steps always set before ending the callNothing fancy, just fundamentals done well.In many cases, tightening follow-up converts more deals without increasing marketing spend.Are you currently managing follow-up and pipeline visibility in your business?
