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.

I have a very collaborative style and see no problem with just asking someone if I can tag along and learn.

I know you know this and just mentioning it to collaborate and help you vet things out.

I look forward to collaborating with you all here on this site.

I look forward to getting feedback from the community and perhaps meeting up for lunch or coffee to collaborate.  

I'm working my own list, but thought it would be good to collaborate. 

@Matthew Stapleford I would be happy to collaborate with you if you bring a deal to the table.

I have a background in management and business planning that I'm looking forward to applying towards some eventual real estate investments, but I find I work best in a collaborative atmosphere where I can get accurate information.

I'm mainly looking for a good communicator comfortable with collaboration.
