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.

@David CozziA few other multifamily focused books I think are must-reads: Multifamily Investors Who Dominate by Beau Beery (Finding Deals/Broker Relationships)Best in Class by Kyle Mitchell and Gary Lipsky (Asset Management)The Definitive Guide to Multifamily Underwriting by Rob Beardsley (Underwriting)

This will take time to build relationships and find the right deals. 

Additionally, I got to network and build relationships with other multi family investors and real estate professionals.
