Collaborating with my potential partner will allow me easy access to a healthy credit line.

It's all about collaborating to find win-win in every negotiation.

I would be happy to be a resource for any Canadians that want to collaborate or just want a contact stateside.

Would you be interested in collaborating on this?

After that, have my business systemized to the point where I can start investing out of start.One of my goals is to find a local Bigger Pockets mentor who's in the LA area.If you're available, I believe we have an opportunity to collaborate.

(also in san luis obispo). just wished to introduce myself. formerly from washington, dc, i'm just getting started in the staging arena in california and i'm looking to make some connections as well. perhaps we shall collaborate in the near future. thanks and sincerely, sydney

Grateful for the collaboration.

While the house flipping I'm doing is more short-term oriented and opportunistic (unique opportunity to collaborate with a friend), with all of the others that I've mentioned here, my focus is on long-term results, and on beating the results I'd get by investing the money in equities (historical rate of return of 7%).For all of these, I'm happy with a 10+ year investment timeframe.So you're suggesting IRR/MIRR, which makes sense. 

And on a practical level, the last thing I want to do is develop the brand as a potential buyer as "hey, that's the name on all of those horrible lowball offers".My point is that I think it can become a more collaborative relationship but it's super hard to develop that when you have zero history with the realtor, zero history of closing on a property, etc. 

Also i know how important it is to network, so even though i am indeed young, i am always willing to learn and collaborate ideas.
