It's grown into a strong collaborative team of retail and investor-agents adding tremendous value to help each other build better businesses, wealth, and passive income.

I would also like to use this thread as a way to reach out to other wholesalers in my state so that maybe we can start some preliminary convos and perhaps eventually create a networking/collaboration group.

From talking to people who were more involved both time and capital-wise than me, I found that they will give their members deals (acting as a wholesaler) and many of their bus tours and what-not (where you get the big 100 unit deals) is basically a collaboration of members buying other members properties.

But the way I see it is, going to live on your own and collaborate with people, can set you up for a pretty good foundation in your business if you are willing to put the time and effort in.

Most of my experience has been very positive here with people responding in a very collaborative manner. 

This community is great because its a collaborative educated grp. 

I have/had  collaborative and respectful relationships with probably 15 of them,  adversarial but otherwise respectful relationships with the next 3,  and 2 tenancies where they were completely disrespectful toward me, the property, and other residents.   

@Rodney Sums https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-shift-to-remote-work-could-be-a-big-swing-and-a-miss-11591452000The article argues (1) that new employees need hands on training to develop, (2) that teams collaborate better while being in the same space.

I decided that I wanted more of his time and that I was willing to pay for it and so he and I collaboratively worked out a "paid" mentorship where we partnered on two rehabs (I put up the money, he provided a hard money loan, and we split profit approximately 60/40 - don't recall specific split but I know I got the larger share).
