Building and nurturing relationships with regional brokerages/brokers is another great way of being sent all offmarket deals they get.  7 out of 10 commercial properties we acquired in the last 15 months were received this way. 

Establishing and nurturing broker's relationships. 8 out of 9 CRE we closed in last 12 months were off market transactions. 

I want to wholeheartedly thank the founders and the BP community for birthing and nurturing, respectively, an invaluable education resource and support system with which I cannot wait to fully engage.Looking forward to seeing you guys around the forums and to helping those where I can.

These relationships need to be formed by the TOP REO brokers in your area, not ones with just a few REO listings and usually with a brokerage that specializes in REO's (in other words, an agent that works with Remax probably will not cut it)These relationships take time to develop and nurture.

Our company uses salesforce for very basic CRM purposes, but I am looking for something to help me stay in front of leads and have a nurturing and follow up system so that I can focus on closing deals that are more time sensitive in nature, but not forget about possible future deals.Does anyone have a suggestion for a program that wont break the bank, but can send drip campaign emails, texts, voicemails, and can categorize contacts, etc that is cost effective as I ramp up my business? 

If this is a second job for you, it can be tiring to work an 8 hour day then go right to another few hours of networking events, but it is very important to establish these relationships and nurture them from day 1.

It may be easier to think of estate building as as a dynamic, organism that grows (and may occasionally contract) and needs to be feed and nurtured and occasionally pruned of dead growth. 

It normally takes 45 days to close on a property and at least a few weeks to find, nurture, and get a client under agreement. 

What @Shabreya Bangura said.. if it worked, nurture it to grow, and your success should grow as well.
