\A friend of mine has had 2 called due on him, but it's b/c he's got a mouth on him and had cursed out the lender both times.He's since taken up yoga :-)

Looking to build a solid team of:Investment-friendly Broker/LenderInvestment-friendly Real Estate Agent (local)Property ManagementI'm a huge believer in referrals and word-of-mouth so I'm hoping I can start from there and eventually network for more opportunities.

@Michele B. took the words right out of my mouth.

If they are people who left the City (for whatever reason), they won't care about bad mouthing the City after they are gone. 

On the management contract,   you are certainly right its a good idea;  I'm no expert on those however so I'll keep my mouth shut on that except to suggest an RE attorney provide you with one.

I couldn’t be happier.

Notice that the word interest never came out of my mouth. 

I couldn't be happier with my brokerage I work for.

I own two duplex properties and could not be any happier with them.

They fall all over themselves giving us "complimentaries" because they know very well that if corporate is footing the bill for the room,  the meals and booze, the happier they can make the guests, the more those same guests spend.
