I like to conduct business a certain way and if someone wants to possibly be my client but it goes against my relationship and business criteria then it's a no go.To be happy I stay true to who I am and how I want to conduct business and I do not waiver from that.  

If anyone has suggestions or stories about how their mentor/mentee relationships have worked in the past, I'd love to hear them.Well that's all for now, thanks for reading my introduction novel.

Try to create relationships with them. 

That's a pretty small loan for a bank, perhaps not impossible but would definitely be best if you had an existing relationship with a bank already that would do this to mostly maintain the relationship.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they present themselves  Great info, thank you.And I agree, one should value a contractor like any other critical relationship.

I was struggling with finding the right amount of empathy and firmness to handle my relationships with unstable, often drug-addicted property sellers.  

The unintentional side effect is this creates and employer-employee relationship and that spells a nightmare if there's an adverse parting of the ways.

I strongly feel building at cost and selling maximizes profit on a any angle .my financing source is through hard money and I'm pretty happy with my terms but know I fell I need to network and possibly partner up with investors in the same Intrest field .I would like to network and build relationships to better assist me in this venture .

My questions to the BiggerPockets's community are:1) When first starting out, who are the three most important people that you need to meet and develop a relationship with?

I'm also interested in establishing relationships with landlords and property managers.
