Both are eager to start so sometimes the proper groundwork for the relationship and goals isn't set accurately up front.I do a call first with my potential clients on the commercial real estate side.

So I'm working with one other prop. manager as we lay the groundwork and grow our business.

Of course, there was some groundwork that I laid for the deal to "find me", for me to convince the bank to lend me 75% of the purchase price and I did have a small line of credit that I used to come up with the down payment. 

My name is James Olinda, I have been traveling the USA in a DIY renovated Airstream for the past three years with my wife, baby girl and two pups, and it's been an incredible adventure.We just purchased a small piece of land, so we're invested in real estate and are laying the groundwork for more investments. 

I suppose you could lay some groundwork in all ten of these cities.

If they do proceed, you’ve started laying the groundwork for what is and isn’t acceptable when it comes to communication.

Start laying the groundwork now!

I am preparing myself to jump into real estate investing within 1-2 years, most likely interested in the Des Moines area (near where I live), so trying to educate myself as much as possible before then, and ideally lay as much of the groundwork as possible. 

I can just see the heads exploding.But then I opened the WSJ and NYT today and see that they are already laying the groundwork for that- blaming the REI on current housing issues.

However, the groundwork and trust had to be there FIRST, not second for that to work.There have been trying times with all of the stress and such of doing real estate, and rehabs, as we've lived in some houses we've worked on, etc - but I've seen a lot of growth in my wife and am excited to see where she goes.
