So to be clear.....you dont want your agent trying to leverage their relationships into getting you a better loan quote?

Build a team of experts that aren't in it for one transaction, but a long relationship.

I have a property.1) lease was originally for a couple (man and woman)2) in May 2020, man took himself out of the lease (because woman was in an abusive relationship so she states and failed a restraining order against the man so man moved out)3) Woman took advantage of eviction moratorium and refused to pay me anything for 10 months onwards4) Woman no longer lives on my property at end of Jan 2021 because I finally managed to evict her end of Jan 20215) Now, I've been communicating with her and trying to get her to complete Covid Rental Assistance programs so I can recover the 10 months back rent without having to go through small claims court6) So far, I've been rejected in two programs (one of the program states that woman didn't provide enough proof / evidence)7) So right now, I'm looking into pursuing woman in small claims court in November8) She argues she has no money or anything and is living in a safe house and to protect her from her abuser, and that she's also homeless9) She states "I have no assets, no savings, and no income.

Personally I am a believer in handwritten notes not just for properties you are interested in but also relationships you are trying to nurture.

Overall, if you have relationships with buyers you will get to know their costs if you keep in touch and follow up on rehabs. 

I'm looking to network and build relationships with investors, and gain as much knowledge as possible.

Many loan officers are sales people, which sometimes means they are relationship based and more disorganized.

This makes things it easier.Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, this gave me the ability to develop relationships with many agents.

Build a relationship and see if you can make a deal happen.

I’m ready to learn and build relationships (in or out of the state) in the process.
