Is it better to use the efficiency unit as my person residence and eat the case flow for the year.

When all is said and done, this is a relationship business, and the most valuable education comes from taking action.Time is your most valuable resource, so task #1 is finding efficiencies in your schedule.Twelve-hour days are unsustainable for the long term.You need to make time in your day (30-90 min) for finding and connecting with deal sources - brokers, owners, and influential third-parties.

It requires a consistent approach to building relationships with deal providers and underwriting potential opportunities.My top 5 tips for getting started:Connect with deal sources - brokers, owners, and influential third-parties - and build fruitful relationshipsCreate a system to efficiently evaluate every deal you come acrossFind a mentors on BP or in your area that can give you advice along the wayBuild routines and habits help you stay consistent with your prospectingGet a good deal under contract - the money will come, even if you need to flip the contract

I have done 100s and 100s and 100s of deals never using an agent ( Well about 8 years ago for a couple till I found a better/ more efficient way ) Connect with consultants that have props they can flip to you.

You'll eventually reach a point where your hit a plateau in operational efficiency, and would need funds to grow.

This will be true on average, however real estate is a less efficient market meaning it's possible to find good returns in very low risk areas. 

I market pretty efficiently as a wholesaler so I come across good deals.

I sometimes get sidetracked with work but never lose sight of moving forward and my revised approach (hard money mixed w/property management) will help me scale more efficiently without getting caught in managing the properties.

Eventually, we learn to trust each other and repairs are done efficiently and quickly on both ends.
