Pay some good friends back their great friendship as well.

I wasn't implying that your friendship might end although some do.

At some point you may have to choose between a friendship and a business decision; a solid well thought out operating agreement can help avoid that situation.

This is a 48 year-old guy, who started 2 companies and sold out of them for nice pennies, owns a bunch of rentals in Jersey, has been licensed years and years, and does million dollar flips with more fluency and ease than what takes most people to punch the clock.Yes, Darren is a friend, and this friendship is built on respect.

I look forward to hopefully connecting with some of you making lasting friendships!

I hope to gain a lot of education, colleagues, and even friendships!

I've lost touch with many (though not my closest) friends while working on building out my businesses, mainly due to the time constraints (I've also built plenty of great friendships along they way!).

I think its going to ruin a friendship or a marriage before it's all said and done.  

My short-term goal (1 year) is to buy my first rental property deal with positive cash flow by June 2017 in Sacramento/Elk Grove areas.I am seeking for mentors, partners, and friendships from BP community.

If his "friend" is not willing to act as one then the seller needs to revaluate his Friendship with this Agent/Realtor.
