@Anthony L BrownSelling a property to someone at a discount because of friendship is the same as giving that person a gift of the difference between the price the property could have netted and the price received.

Their friendship has imploded and both are constantly contacting me. 

On the flip side it could destroy friendships if you’re not careful.

It created a lot of new friendships and camaraderie. 

@Griffin Stephens - Personally, I've found that it isn't necessarily about going out and finding that mentor.It's about attending meetups routinely, hopping on the phone with experienced investors, building friendship-based relationships, thinking about others first, providing value, and it will come back to you in the long-run.After a couple of years of this, you'll have dozens of friends you can call up anytime for advice.

They add the problem of allowing emotion to cloud your judgement when running your business.Now you have to deal with that quandary........ screw up your friendship or screw up you business investment..... your choice.Personally I would do everything possible to take this opportunity to fix the early mistake of renting to people that you have an emotional connection to....... no way these people are getting back in my unitStop and repeat to yourself...... they disable smoke alarms and burned my unit!!!!

Having friends as tenants is a difficult challenge to both be fair to them with rent, upgrades, and privacy as well maintaining the friendships.

If you like the numbers you see online and what you see in person, leverage that friendship you have with them and go in as a partner on a deal or two and use their resources.

Add value to someone else for free education and building a friendship/relationship. 9.

Im looking to build friendships and eventually partnerships.
