But, during their move-in day, I happened to be in the kitchen with the daughter for a couple minutes and made friendly chit-chat about the iguana (in a cage on the kitchen counter). 

So prior to this text he and I had briefly chatted about investment rental properties because it was something he brought up and the conversation more or less was "this is what I'm doing as an agent because I have access to the MLS  to see what's coming up before the general public and have you guys ever considered real estate investing?" 

Real estate is and will always be a game of personal interaction.

If you'd like to chat, feel free to reach out. 

In the meantime I’ve been saving and acquiring knowledge and I would love to know if there are any local meetups or if anyone would like to connect to just chat about potential options!

That was after about 2 years of lurking and minimal interaction...the soaking phase.

Maybe they know of good financing options for your future projects :)I know there is one in Finland called renters association which I found out about through BP.Good luck in your process and feel free to connect so we can chat sometime. 

So if you could use some help, or maybe just want to get rid of a headache property that needs a little more hands on/local work, let's chat and see if we can work something out! 

@Deepti MandavaI sent you a message if you would like to chat regarding your project.

If you ever want to chat, feel free to send me a message.
