Working with Newbie Investors as a Realtor - Your thoughts?

[Brit Hale]

I am a Realtor and investor myself and I find it "interesting" when working with Newbie investors. Balancing the true desire to build relationships and help clients attain wealth with tedious tasks and questions while they learn the process can be a time suck from my income generating activites. What are some of your tips, tricks, and thoughts in general? A few have suggested a "three strike rule" where if a client doesn't act on three deals that meet their stated criteria, then dropping them as a client altogether. Perhaps, some of the irritation is due to the low cost of homes/inventory in my market, resulting in a trivial amount of commission income upon a successful closing and more importantly, time away from building my real estate business and personal investments.  

Thanks in advance!
