This month, we are going to focus in on Skill #1 - Finding Killer Deals.  We are going to cover the key areas and tools you should have to find and organize your Seller Leads, sort thought and find viable Sellers and then negotiate a successful deal with them.    We are going to cover these subjects:

i.     First Contact Property Evaluations – What questions to ask on the phone
