Aside from financing (my own primarily, but also potential partners/investors), I have a legal background and other value-added skills to bring to the table in any deal(s).Looking forward to continuing my learning and building lucrative relationships with many of you!

You get to learn a TON about how your business should work, and will avoid losing loads of cash to a management company—they may be convenient but the good ones aren't cheap.Plus, it's not too hard to find good software and tools to help you out with managing, if you want something more solid than an Excel sheet and a contact list.

I'm attending the REI meet up this week so hoping to network and build relationships with other folks out there looking for deals in this market.

Well @Yash Bajpai its all about relationships with smaller local Banks... so that's how you start- you give first!. 

Be broker friendly:  Most chain stores have strong relationships with tenant rep brokers.

We establish a relationship through my purchase of personal property and commission, then we continue working together building a portfolio.

Due to working abroad 6 years, I must rebuild my US credit (nearly excellent now) and build my work history ( nearly 6 months now). 2.

I look forward to cultivating relationships with you guys!!!
