Your database should consist of individuals, friends and family members that already "know you, like you, and trust you".

Still have lots of friends and family in the area. 

A good friend of mine generously shared her knowledge of the Phoenix metro area.

Dear all,This is question for my friend.

While all your TSP/ IRA/ 401k/ whatever friends are losing their minds because they lost half their life savings, you can stretch out on your couch made of $100 bills you got from owning rental property, crack open a cold one, and watch the world burn while shopping for the next killer deal.

I'm looking for referrals for "investor friendly agents", however all I'm really looking for is a hard working honest agent.

He didn’t have luck renting it out, so he had rented it to a friend for $500/mo when his mortgage payment was $850/mo (a $350/mo loss).
