Sorry Leonard I teach people to fish instead of delivering it to their door.You'll be a much stronger investor if you take the time to seek out and nurture these relationships yourself.

In other words, not many people will hand over $50K-$100K to someone they don’t know or trust.It pays to nurture your investor pipeline and develop a robust process around investor relations.

I'm also seriously considering getting my RE license for the sake of MLS access to pull my own comps or I'm going to make my wife get hers (in a loving and nurturing way)!

You build a network, develop, foster and nurture relationships.

. :/ Almost had another under contract, but that situation got sticky real quick and I pulled out.So close though... so close... got some things in the works and adding leads to nurture every day.

Not exactly an environment that nurtures future success.

The answer to my question probably lies in the next two books.I've done well as an agent and nurtured my SOI well.  

That means prospecting for new clients, nurturing your current ones, showing houses throughout the week, going to inspections, doing all the paperwork right and in time, the list keeps going.

Take this time to nurture/cultivate your credit score & DTI ratio, as they will play a big role in your investing in the future.I'm looking forward to hearing about your first deal one day.
