Trust is BIG in this business. I struggled whether I wanted to post this or not and even what forum should I choose. As a new investor, I reached out to a group that does deals in their sleep and gravitated to a person that is doing what I want to do literally. I got the number and would call and bounce questions and scenarios off of this person and would always get some meaningful insight, this was by far to me my de-facto mentor. I found a motivated seller of 10 properties in desired areas of town. Eight units have tenants on 1 year leases generating income. I meet her (seller) and do a drive by of all 10 last week. I call my mentor and share the details and I am told to setup another meeting with seller to show the properties to us, mentor will pick out some of that are appealing and we'll close a deal. Needless to say my mentor didn't show, call, or text. I went to all 10 and took pictures and lots of notes. I'll be working hard today finding a buyer. I was very disappointed but looked at it as a learning experience.
Anybody out there ever experience this, what did you do?

Great work. Now, is that buyer looking to buy more? If yes, find out what his criteria is...and go fill his orders.
