We are looking for strong relationships moving forward in various markets that can allow for mutual success as we continue to expand our portfolio. 

I was helping my cousin purchase a property and his lender informed me that because I had written on the purchase contract that we were related that the investor fInancIng the loan wouldn’t lend to my cousin because it was a rule they had that there could not be any relationship between agent and principal.

I’d like to build some good local relationships with anyone who has there hands in real estate investing.

BP community- I received an email from a tenant at one of our SFH that things with her relationship have reached a point that she can no longer live with the person.

I have a broker I have a good relationship with so it will pay to have a coffee with him shortly. 

I'm hoping to develop long-term relationships with  other investors and realtors in my area.

As far as splitting the utilities goes if you live in it for a year or 2 you will have historical data for how much it all costs and you can either build it into the rent or charge a pro rata share to each tenant each month.

Both are financially strong ( all of our investors are accredited) and have other relationships with the banks.There are also some smallish private equity funds that will lend at interest rates in the 8-9% range on portfolios of notes, minimum loan size starts at $1,000,000 with 60% max LTV.In both instances the lenders want to see the quality and performance of the underlying notes being used as collateral.

I still have a good relationship with the bank so if they allow me to do the 10% down then I believe my HELOC would be able to cover that along with the repairs.

My question is how I can keep contact with these people in the mean time to keep that relationship, or if I would be fine just getting back in touch with them at that time when I'll be actively looking?
