Hello fellow members,As you know, building a strong team of trusted professionals is one of the main ingredients to growing your real estate portfolio and helping others to do the same as well if you're in the service industry.I'm currently looking for an excellent mortgage broker/agent/specialist.

In my humble opinion, there's arguably three key ingredients to successful real estate investing...time, cash and credit and maybe you throw in persistence as well.

Now, take those 2 ingredients and throw em in a blender and what-da-ya-get?

Then, you find one other person to Fund (which could be a person, a retirement fund, a bank, a hard money lender, etc) and you've got the ingredients to a great partnered deal!
