You'd be surprised how a random meeting can turn into a friendship or mentor-ship, but you have to be willing to put your face out there and take the time to develop relationships and acquire knowledge along the way.

Effective communication is the key to any PM/Investor relationship.

Tough to make a call on this one but you might save the relationship if you sat down with the GC and poured over every detail on what has been paid out (down to the last cent) and then come to an agreement on what is owed back to you from the initial $15k. 

A true "win-win" - always a good start to a business relationship!

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

We have a local relationship with a bank in RI that gets us rehab funds and no seasoning needed, so once we are done the rehab we can cash out. 

I think it's great how so many of you are talking about developing relationships with the neighbors.

@Greg DavisHELOC up to 90% LTV at KeyBank if you have a fairly established relationship.

To that I say thats where forming a relationship with a realtor you trust comes in.

Its always tempting to see what an offer could be, or what new trends are coming in with new companies, but at the end of the day, as of right now, selling with a good realtor that is honest, ethical, and wants to build a long lasting relationship with you is the way to go.
