try to start a relationship with a mentor in your area

You have to develop relationships so you can create and add to your buyers list.

Looking to build great relationships in the wonderful world of Real Estate.

Its the relationship between net income and price. 

I offer nothing to this relationship, but expect you to jump at the chance because you probably have nothing better else to do.

The relationship between the loan officer and the contractor is really not relevant to the terms of the purchase agreement or escrow costs.

I would suggest that you keep in touch by telephone or passing by every month to six weeks. you are attempting to establish rapport and some kind of relationship so that when he decides to reduce price or comes to understand that you are closer to the market than he was then he turns to you over those he might have spoken to in the interim.

I understand that interacting with others and taking the time to make my name known as well as build relationships in the industry is the most important step.

I am hear to develop relationships with others on similar journeys in the hopes of sharing the good and the difficult of real estate investment. 

Your best bet is to establish a relationship with at least 2 mortgage brokers in your area.
