Thanks! 

Great Insight and appreciate the candidness!

In short, I'm looking to connect with someone in the KC area--seeking MF or portfolio deals. I have been in the area several times, including two weeks ago to look at some off-market opportunities. I am specifically looking to connect with another investor with similar character, morals and mindset. I'm specifically seeking the rare opportunity to find a "win-win" relationship that goes much deeper than the typical surface connection. My "word" and my name is my bond--I will never tarnish it. My moral compass is very strong and will not sacrifice it for dollars or popularity.

Again, I'm looking for a the hungry investor that recognizes the importance of relationships and that the rising tide raises all ships.

Sincerely,

All,

Good day.  First, I apologize - I've been offline from BP for 4 years or so...a lot seems to have changed with format/content.  Not sure if I'm "allowed" to make this post in this forum - so please redirect me if necessary. 

Bottom Line:  My daughter is a freshman at UWM and we are seeking housing for Fall 2024 term.  I am looking for a trustworthy landlord to connect with for her to possibly rent OR any property you may have to sell. I'm an experienced SFR and Small MF investor and also licensed contractor. I'd be happy to take over a project or buy a wholesale. I recognize my "ignorance" to the MKE market so all advice is appreciated.

Please pm me.  

Sincerely,

Mike Taddy

Man - I haven’t posted in years but you’re underwriter comment brought me out of the dungeon as well. Pure gold man...pure gold. I needed the laugh this morning.

I too struggled to find a reputable PM company until I found this one. I recently placed 4 properties (13 units) with Principal Property Services out of De Pere. I’m very happy with the transition and look forward to growing “with” them. Their site is www.rentalwi.com Best Regards Mike

Michael,

I think you’re a victim of many before you on here. Many newbies come on here wanting the “handout” of a mentor—yet not offering what they can contribute to the relationship.  

The forum is sensitive to those folks and understandably so many of the times.  If you are looking for a specific mentor right now, then the general advice is to properly and honestly represent what you bring to the relationship.  I believe that was Andrew’s intent.  

So my takeaway advice for you:

1) If you’re simply asking do non-guru mentors exist—absolutely.  

Or 

2) if you’re trying to gain/attract a specific mentor with this initial post, you’ll have to better demonstrate what you can bring to the relationship.  And it’s generally agreed upon in the forums to start with what you can offer. 

Best of luck.  

Michael, Welcome to BP! The short answer to your post is yes—discovering BP and maximizing its benefits will open doors for you—as long as you put forth the effort. BP exists for the very reason you found it...it can be done without the “guru” approach. I believe your post was a general question if mentors exist that don’t put you through a sales funnel—again, that’s an emphatic yes. Others on here might take your initial post as the standard “newbie” wanting a handout from a mentor. I give you the benefit of the doubt that you were turned off (rightfully so) by the sales pitch and found BP because your instinct told you otherwise. The long answer to your question can be answered by perusing the forums, asking questions and listening to podcasts. Good luck. Mike

Welcome to BP Bob!  You definitely have some great options based on your financial situation.  Good luck!

Best Regards,

Mike

This is what I was looking for.  It may not seem much of an input from your experience, but it was a good "sanity check" for my thoughts as I approach the negotiation.  

Best Regards,

Mike
