take them out to coffee and pick their brain!  

I have a grant writer friend here on Kauai, so I'll pick his brain.

I am also an investor in LI & it would be great to pick your brain & bounce some ideas.

My bleeding heart says to not run her application due to this and give her her money back, but my brain says to run it and see what happens, even though I have a strong feeling she won't make it.

I had a brain anurism and a stroke about 5 years ago and my wife let my license end.  

A lady at my church, most of her family does something with real estate so I'll have to take one of them out to lunch and pick their brain since I have an idea of what to ask

Why don't you take a couple of contractors out to lunch and pick their brains.  

Also, try to get to know the area as best you can - it makes a big difference when looking at properties when you are used to the home values in the area  - Another key piece of advice that wish I had when I first started out was to start networking with other investors as soon as possible - not just online - but in real life - sit down and have lunch - maybe offer to take them out for coffee and pick their brain - you would be surprised how much you can pick up on in a casual conversation with someone who does this for a living  - the insight simply unbeatable.

Is that like a blended interest rate but with rocket science and brain surgery?

I'll have to pick your brain about your 4 plex.
