We were out for a couple drinks before catching a ballgame and I had asked him if he had ever considered getting involved in the cannabis cultivation industry... ( it was a tangent in the context of our conversation ).

Make sure you cultivate some relationships with more experienced landlords, so you can rely on them to avoid the biggest blunders:)

Hey Michael,Great job on actively networking and cultivating relationships – you're headed in the right direction!

We would love to cultivate these three duplexes to be turned into a business so it can be sold as a business and not just beautiful opportunities. 

Cultivating a culture of open communication not only enables the prompt resolution of issues but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration within rental properties, ultimately enhancing the overall rental experience for both parties involved.

@Matthew BernalI'd go wide and then deep.I'd speak with banks/credit unions/debt funds and develop relationships in all three spheres of real estate debt markets.Once you find some that are comfortable with your structure, then I'd try to build deep relationships with them, as they may allow more flexibility/more favorable terms once you've cultivated a relationship and proven yourself as a borrower.You write very clearly, which means you likely think very clearly.

Do they have systems to follow up and cultivate their leads?

There is a process in sales of know, like, trust.Or put another way, the typical new relationship needs at least 6 touch points before they will be ready to "buy".But whatever words you put behind it, you need cultivate trust before someone will typically split with their hard earned money and trust you to be a good steward of capital.  

Cultivating daily rituals is where most people fail. 4) Social Media: Use with caution and only after you have formulated a path for yourself in the note space.

Keep cultivating your business credit...
