I have been going to meet ups and trying to network with other investors/operators but i find it difficult to keep the relationships fresh so to speak. what are some techniques you think i can use to let the people i meet know that i really would like to keep in touch with them and continue the interactions?

Make them based on what your tenants need (not want) which would also allow for them to customize (furniture use) to their tastes.I wrote a book on this a number of years ago that touches on a lot of these things, but it was focused on my specialty, "Energy Efficient, cost effective homes". 

Happy to put you two in touch if you're interested.

Would love to hear of your process/strategy around these mailings and touch points.

I think there is an exception for commercial loans.I wouldn't touch this without talking to several lenders first to confirm what is or is not allowed.

I'm working on putting together an APP that you can download on android or iphone to make it easier to use.

You just don't get to touch it until you next refinance.

I do have money in my joint acct with my wife but she doesn’t want to touch it.

Please feel free to do so and we will keep in touch.

They paid on time (ate my food  lol) and still stay in touch.
