I like meeting people, making long-lasting friendships and I love strategies.

I want to find a tact that respect their friendship, but also shows that I'm a professional even though I don't do it full time and this is a well-thought out investment.  

I/we are excited about all the new friendships we will be making and all the real estate deals we will be doing.                                         

I first started in real estate in late 2011 really leveraged social media at that point to create some great business relationships that blossomed into awesome friendships an ended up being very profitable.

My main focus and goal is to stay as active on BP as I can, network, and talk with investors to help with their business and to build on long term friendships within the real estate business.

Seventy-eight(ish) straight podcasts later—just after crown molding, but before paint overspray on new truck—I had learned quite a bit about real estate, had developed a deep, if awkwardly anonymous friendship with Brandon and Josh (and Josh’s cats), and had been spared the long slow death of trying to make it as a hack craftsman in a skilled craftsman’s world.Thanks to BP I’m still alive and kickin’, and the game plan going forward is to flip for the purpose of generating capital to invest in longer term projects.

You never know when a simple new connection can turn into a business partnership, a friendship, or even just a regular coffee appointment for brainstorming and talking about the local market.I just met a newbie investor for coffee last week here in Raleigh.

Ultimately, stay in communication and keep building your business relationship as well as friendship with them.Be honest with them.

Like Bill Gulley said.If you find a commercial broker that you like, asked to start a friendship.
