I having been looking for deals, but don't really know anyone here to establish a relationship with in order to sell the contract to them.

Re: #3,  ask your cleaner and  folks you know in the area for names of good handymen and then make a few calls to start building those relationships for when you need them.Good luck!

Thats a good one, how did you get the private money, was it with someone you had a longstanding relationship with?

It really comes down to a relationships and putting the work in. 

That is big variance.If he owns that much then likely a lender he has used in the past is going to give him the best terms with his track record versus a new lender relationship that is unproven and a one off loan.

I have a very basic understanding of corelogic and listsource relationships and purposes, but not why they would be listed in those fields.

It's been a good business relationship. 

I think you should look more into the people you have a personal relationship with that know and trust you. 

I like establishing relationships with lots of banks so it's useful in the future.

@Luis C Ceniceros Typically, at least with the tax pros here on BP (from what I gather), no one really charges hourly or time-based fees (myself included).Not only is it an outdated billing method but it's counterproductive for a successful tax planning relationship (especially when dealing with real estate investors).
