Purchasing in an LLC does have restrictions, but I figure if I want to be a "big boy" in this game  then I need to learn to play like a big boy in this game (I know that's relative BTW, I won't ever be in Cardone's category). 

If I can ever be of any assistance, feel free to reach out.

With 5k EMD, you have skin in the game and its an incentive to keep your word. 

Here are some specific action items:-build out your profile on BP, I want to see a picture of you, know what you do and what your goals are-be helpful on BP, start trying to answer/participate in posts where you have some value-start reaching out to people on BP specifically, with small, specific asks-go to a few networking events every month and plan on talking to many people...it takes 5 + bad conversations to find 1 good one-go to 2-3 conferences per year and be very purposeful there in your intentions, don't just go to sessions and stay quiet, be intereactiveI probably should have started with this, but what is your goal in connecting with these people?

Hello,I am new to the game here, I am wondering what you all think the best way to find my first deal would be?

Sure enough, the wholesaler reaches out and his deal fell through so I end up pick up this 2/2 townhouse for $39,500. 

I was at my max and wouldn't bid again, but it was a game of chicken.2) Bidding was starting to starting to boil down to a few bidders and I jumped the bid. 

I reached out to a commercial broker to get idea of rent rates.

We lose that extra summer rental cash, but we have the security of the full year lease.Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Alternatively, you still need to reach out to  RE attorney (in the case it's not going to be a syndication, rather you opted for another option.)
