I have been going to meet ups and trying to network with other investors/operators but i find it difficult to keep the relationships fresh so to speak. what are some techniques you think i can use to let the people i meet know that i really would like to keep in touch with them and continue the interactions?

Haven't seen your name before so It's always good to meet fresh faces.

Florida where there are tons of less-than-honorable types, this has been a breath of fresh air. 

But the nice thing about a commercial property is that you do have control over the value of the property. buy-out costs have to be baked into a business plan along with a clear understanding of what the property can produce over a given timeline. $2.2M for 12 units could be a really good deal in a good location with the right plan or it could be money pit and the end of an investor if it is in the wrong place or a bad building.

From the outside, it will look like a dark room, and from the inside, you'll have a fresh slate to install your shower surround (just make sure you don't screw through the plywood and shatter the glass behind it though!).

At minimum, all the overgrown landscaping should be trimmed back, if not completely removed with some fresh mulch and new plants planted.  

Hello BP,I am fresh into the real estate game ( about 8 days old) and I am hoping someone has an answer.I qualify for the veterans home loan in NYC.

Fresh out of college, we moved to Dallas, TX to take on entry level jobs making very minimal amounts of money.

I am proud to say that I got my training in the business from being a Note School student, and he is part of the Seller Finance Coalition lobbying on capital hill on behalf of seller finance and the investors like us who make this part of our business model.I would also say that Eddie Speed and the folks at Note School keep their material fresh, and appropriate for today's market conditions, which have seen changes in the last few years.I would also agree with you for saying that Eddie Speed tries to maintain integrity in his dealings.
