I sort of end up on excel at the end of the year importing statements and trying to categorize expenses, improvements, etc.  

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

I look forward to fostering many relationships through this platform.I currently have a small portfolio of rental properties but am looking to expand it through the means of fix / flip; wholesaling and multi unit rentals.

You need to network and create relationships with multifamily brokers and look for properties that have problems for you to solve.Everyone's underwriting is going to be affected with rising interest rates, prices will begin to fall.Gino

Are you creating relationships with realtor/investors?  

That rate seems a bit steep but much depends on LTV relationship with lender etc...

Currently building a team, I want to establish a relationship with a hard money lender so I can act when I find a property. 

The key is to cast a broad net and build lots of relationships.  

The reason I did not make a recommendation one way or the other is because it is not a legal question and I don't know the dynamics of the relationship between him and the person who he is lending to.

@Amdrew Polinchak I would primarily focus on having a fantastic relationship with you contractor, that is if you're not your own contractor.
