Some people can pull it off, but most people i know do not mix business with friendship or family. 

I'm looking to break the ice and create friendships. 

real friendship) may ridicule you, but in the long run it will put you way ahead of your peers, and strengthen your financial and future base.

sorry that they are not really friends as the other posted get an attorney and remember this is business and not a friendship at this point.

People come into the forums daily asking for a mentor, they don’t get one.Set out to build your network, meet new people, build friendships and add value.

Hopeful for a truly synergistic relationship that accomplishes significant mutual benefit, and otherwise just building friendships and relationships in the REI community.In the meantime, I'd love to hear how others found relationships/partnerships/mentorships to get started, and how the experience got them to their goals.Thanks for any and all replies, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I've been working in this business for about 7yrs.I just started reading and learning about RE and I'd like to meet somebody who is in this business and don't mind to share his knowledge and expertise in real estate.So if anyone out there can help me get started I'm sure we can build a friendship that can be beneficial to who ever is gracious enough to reach out to me.I'm very interested in Flip and Buy and Hold.
