This may not be worthy of posting to some but I just had one of those, 'ahhh, this is pretty cool' moments.

Years ago when I was getting started, I was attending a lot of meet ups, seminars etc... like most newbs do, no big deal.

One of the first guys I went to, to see in a Thursday night 'meet up' was someone who wasn't selling really a course or program so to speak, he was selling his services to other active investors. I can't give too much details because local guys could probably figure out who I'm talking about.

Summary is, this guy was one of those that were really active and not just a pushy salesman. I always liked the guy even though I didn't end up needing or wanting his companies services.

I just received an accepted offer I submitted on a multi-family yesterday and his signature is on the sellers line.... I didn't look to see who the seller was initially but now that I notice it, seems like I'm hearing the Lion King soundtrack, circle of life playing in my head.

This isn't one of those stories you hear where a supposed big time investor is losing his shirt but just a simple coincidence I thought it was worth telling someone. Thanks for reading! Now, onto opening up escrow.

    Nick, out of curiosity, have you found trying to develop relationships with sellers helps?

    I know I have bought from a few people that have mentioned they have a portfolio. I've been trying to make sure things go as smoothly as possible so when they go to liquidate other portions of that portfolio their first call won't be to a realtor, it would be to me again. Just curious if you've seen success with that.

    to be honest, no

    I know I should and I will as time goes on. Normally, with SFR's, building relationships with sellers only was worth it if they had someone they knew that was selling via short sale etc....

    Now that multi-family has become such a bigger part of my business both as an investor and Realtor, I know that building those relationships will be a valuable asset.
