A realtor I am using had a family AC company inspect my home's HVAC and provide an outrageous recommendation for a new system and she never disclosed the relationship or that the HVAC company website domain name is registered in her name.

It seems inefficient and almost like they don't have a relationship with a plumber and are trying out plumbers on your dime.

But in the meantime, be analyzing deals, establish relationships with key players you will need on your team (lenders, RE brokers, property managers, etc.) and start making some offers.

you need a relationship with a local commerical bank.. there are some larger private HML that specilize in this.but they are far and few between..

You will need to work every relationship you have and put the time in.

I communicate, as if I was on your side of the relationship. 

So long as things are moving forward, you’ll never have an issue.3) I don’t know your relationship, but I’d meet privately with your brother in law at the property perhaps monthly, and discuss status at lunch.

Looking forward to building my relationships finally within this community and help others along the way! 

We've always had decent L/T relationships since we started this venture full-on in 2018, but this one just really irks me.

By that, I mean ask them what they need the most help with or what they'd be willing to let you do for free3) learn from them what successful investors are doingThe answer to your question could be partnering or waiting --- or it could be something MUCH better that comes from a relationship you have with a solid investor.Congrats for having your head on straight at 18, you'll future self will be thanking your current self ;)
