From my understanding the first 6 months to a year will be the most difficult for providing income while also maintaining proper marketing costs until I could establish a larger sphere of influence. 

Much like building your referral program, marketing to your center of influence is widely underutilized.

We had a strange influence system once before, and long discussion about it.

Always try to find a "win-win" when negotiating with anybody, and always try to appeal to them.Best book ever: How to Win Friends and Influence People.

As you sphere of influence grows, you should make sure that the growth comes from the kind of people who are positive and have goals and beliefs that are in line with where you want to go.  

Can you use your networks and influence to find her a cheaper place?

Not discounting the value of BP or net working at all, but subjective opinions are influenced by many variables, attitudes, agendas and assumptions.My sandwich was good, it may have put me in a better position to discuss another business transaction later that day, so it may have contributed to some success there, I didn't account for that.

When I don't read posts in any thread, it's not that I'm ignoring folks or have no respect for opinions, but more to the fact that my comment may or may not be addressing anyone other than the OP AND that my comment has nothing to do with others influencing my comment, so with that;If you imply you're the owner or advertise as an owner, much less claim you are, when you are wholesaling you are dealing fraudulently, plain and simply, it's fraud.
