I am also wondering whether we should seek out wholesale deals, or work with a wholesaler frequently.I'm looking forward to a long term relationship with RE and BP.

As long as the broker has customers like these there is no incentive to take a chance on a new buyer with no track record of closing.If you are looking to create a relationship with an MHP broker I would suggest calling up the most junior broker on the team and meeting with him/her.  

@Stephanie Garcia Thank you, this deal was a wholesale deal so there wasn't much funding we had to come up with besides marketing and other related cost.When I first met my mentor, I think he agreed to mentor me more so because he saw that I was young and ambitious, yet I wanted to make our relationship mutually beneficial so especially early on I did various task for him such as: data input, deal analysis, research,etc.

I'm currently involved with wholesale and I'm looking to do some networking with investors and building great relationships with people in general.

a few days late since i am super busy with the current rehabs, but closed on #19 on thursday night. worked on it for awhile with the listing agent and the brokerage. they apparently have a great relationship with the feds and kept trying a few times to get the best price. about a month+ ago, it was listed at 72k, i believe. then a few days later it dropped to 64.9k. i offered 52, but they didn't take. they said they had another offer. then i offered 55 and stuck to it 3 times in a row. they said best they'd do at this time was 55.5, so i took it.it's in Garden City, but on the border with Westland. it's on a cross road (one that goes between 2 major roads, so that will push some people away. numbers look like this:purchase - 55.5krehab - who knows, after 18, i still can't estimate properly, but i am hoping $20k at mosttaxes - $2,500rent - average rent is $1,000the problem is that i am out of money right now and can't touch it until i am done with the latest 2 rehabs. i might do a little here and there like demo and cleaning up the yard of trees and such, but no major installs until we are done with the latest 2.my goal was 20 a year ago. i am close, so i just need a new goal.

But they'll want to evaluate your overall financial situation before opening a relationship.

HMLs coin the private lender phrase to avoid several lending issues as well as some marketing spin to describe the relationship.

You have to know someone extremely well to trust them with the mutual respect that this relationship requires.   

Now to build relationship first =)  I will look into it.   

It is a serious relationship that will evolve soon.
