I've found the easiest solution is to have a really strong banking relationship and then they will be able to provide non-standard offerings.

It was listed by a realtor that I previously purchased a small portfolio from and therefore had a good professional relationship.

You have a skillset that could be extremely useful for quick fixes and landlord issues and from there you can bridge relationships and partnerships to enhance your knowledge of real estate investing and couple your skills.

However, the relationship and efficiency of work can be supported with the use of new technology such as AI, can it not? 

Also, I have relationships with PMLs and HMLs who fund flips all the time.

I faced numerous hurdles and stressful moments, but I persevered and built a successful approach.To tackle this challenge, I recommend starting early by building relationships and seeking investors.

On a side note: As a new investor myself I am looking to grow my relationships, especially with contracotrs, and would love to hear about your work.

You do it by building relationships over time and being an asset to investors.
