For instance, if the property is located in an area that has predominately colder weather, having a pool and club house maybe isn't a high selling point for a potential renter. 

For something more important, like in this instance, I'd also snail mail a letter.

For instance, I am meeting a realtor and Inspector at a home today that one of our current clients has put an offer on.

For instance, if Partner 1&2 are newbie investors but can not find deals, then Partner 3 will be in a position to demand better terms because s/he is teaching them the ropes and introducing them to a network, or vice-versa. 

Oh and T12 in this instance is the Trailing 12 months actual expenses from the seller, hard to come by sometimes, but for larger properties, it should be as simple as contacting the accounting dept.  

CBRE, for instance is one that we all see.

You could return to the seller and offer a change in terms, for instance maybe a % of owner financing.  

Adding money to the system is inflationary, but a lot of that money was added in response to a credit bubble popping(deflationary force) Our economy is built on credit and there is more of it now than  in 2008, (think effects of artificially low interest rates) so if for instance, the govt decides to forgive all student loan debt, that removes a trillion from the system which is deflationary.

For instance, I believe that wholesaling could be a great vehicle for me to get started.

At least it won't be a slow drain on you the next 5 years of ownership.Sure - there may be some instances that you can get a tax benefit greater than your lost cash flow but this is stupid to shoot for and not a good idea for people without unlimited financing.
