We’re on the same page about wanting everything well-documented and on paper to protect both of us and maintain a business relationship.

It would take a good six months to a year to develop a good relationship with a probate attorney and they are more likely to build a relationship with a real estate agent first so they can confirm the value before giving their clients any advice on disposition.

I am looking for a coach that can provide the step by step education required, provide guidance on doing the first deal, provide favorable introductions for key connections and relationships, pass along potential deal flow, and possibly include themselves as part of my team to avoid the lack of experience issue.Just like any investment, this requires a good amount of due diligence and should provide a decent ROI. 

Or, if you know of someone who's already doing what you want to do, lean into the relationship and offer to help them (ask them what they need and do it) so you can learn by doing.There's no "easy button"; I do like the idea of paying a mentor to speed up the learning curve, but that's not always feasible. 

My brother-in-law/ real estate partner rented a home on Emerald Isle and met a property manager and they spoke and started a relationship.... three weeks later we owned this home.

Carolina.I have built relationships that allow me to leverage other peoples resources like dispo teams and TCs.

You are far more likely to find a mentor through in-person networking and building relationships.

I've developed some great relationships and also a business partner from these meetings.

Leveraging existing relationship is a great way to expand your network.

They are not looking for new relationships.
