As someone who plans to relocate for her long distance relationship, I’m sticking it out for a year or two in my state building up my portfolio a tad and laying the groundwork for a small passive income.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is an excellent book.

There are companies/brokers with huge NNN inventories because of their relationships with large franchisees.

When I am seeking lenders that hold their own paper I (1) go to the local REIA and find out who partners and lends privately, but that will take some time building relationships (2) go to smaller more localized banks, not mortgage lenders or brokers as they by definition are selling their loans.I have also found that if you go to banks in smaller markets outside of the metro, where there is only one or two offices that you often deal directly with the bank president and can make some great loans and connections.And I just posted this on another question - but go to local REIA meetings, meetups and the like, talk to people, vendors and build relationships and you will be able to get some great referrals - just like here at BP, only live and face to face - I think there is even a live BP meeting in Waldo this week? 

Being an industry influencer also leads to exponential opportunities and relationships versus just being an investor. 

She provided the bank with more information/paperwork and I'm sure her relationship of working with the bank in the past helped. 

I built relationships with them over months and years and have relationships with those they do business with.

It's an excellent way to make money and invest in your future, but it's certainly not for everyone.

@Joel Falk , Excellent responses from other colleague. 

I would love to create relationships with these lenders and help broker deals for all the awesome BRRRR strategists I meet here on BP.
