Anthony and I have a long-standing friendship outside BP.Here's the story: a father-and-son pair of alcoholic Belarusian immigrant tile clowns with matching ankle monitors courtesy of the Allegheny County Jail were the impetus for my learning how to use cement board to lay tile in framed buildings, and by extension committing to handyman investing here in Pittsburgh.

Hello,I have recently rekindled an old friendship with a friend whom I happened to meet at a local coffee shop one day.

I just read a great quote that I want to share with you investors out there as you build your business. " No one ever asks for a pound of friendship or a bucket of integrity but they will pay you for it if you deliver".

Cons: You have 4 people unrelated (no friendship likely) who did not pick each other that are living together. 

Because there is a friendship I don't want to waste his time if it isn't really a good deal for me.

I recommend messaging people in that area every single day until you have some great friendships established.

Provided me with a rewarding career, many great relationships/friendships, and taught me how to be a truly disciplined person.

Explore other business ventures and pursu those that make senseMeet more like minded people that share the same passion for Real Estate, form new friendships and business partners, help others that may be in need of a helping hand.

It made me more money, taught me real estate, found partnerships, friendships, etc.My post is not trying to say that I've made it by any stretch but more that I have found the same obstacles as you've stated but put a plan together to get around them and live the life I want.

I can see some lanky kid step on a nail, trip fall and hit an eye on the end of a board or molding and the injury being a bigger deal than your friendship with that parent!
