While in Florida, we really want to network and build relationships with realtors (who are also investors) that are knowledgeable on Florida's rental market. 

The interest values go DOWN over time while the principal values go UP over time.How is that NOT an inverse relationship?

@Louisa SealesIf you have a good relationship with your current tenant, maybe try talking to them about coworkers who may be interested.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: @Satyajeet Dodia  Who signed your lease if not the deed holder and no a contractual relationships is not necessary to be sued. 

Also, I recommend you have a banking relationship with Wells and Chase prior to shopping if that's the route you're definitely going to take. 

If there is anything business has taught me is that sometimes you have to put in sweat equity to build a lasting relationship. 

Capital Syndicate is the private money brokering, where you are the middle man between investors and private money that Lee has build relationships with over the years.

@Drew Sygit my strategy for now is to spend the next 6 months or so learning everything I can about real estate markets, properties, underwriting, financing, landlords, property management, construction, legal, insurance, and anything else that comes across my radar, all the while trying to make connections and build relationships within each of these areas to build a network and gain the confidence to sell lenders and investors on the very best deals I can come up with.

For the personal side of things, I do a GoBundance Onesheet, which breaks my life up into Financial, Health, Relationships, Friends, Adventure, and Spiritual/Contribution.Happy to share either document with you if that would help Tonio!

Use this as a learning experience to refine your investment strategy and prevent similar issues in the future.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
