How soon is too soon to look for agents on these forums to establish a relationship for something that is going to happen in reality closer to 2022? 

@James Galla what I mean is, for previous work, there was never a charge for coordinating maintenance, I have witnessed them with the most recent bills for similar work and was advised that this has always been the policy, and when I advised of the previous work and never a maintenance "coordination fee", I was advised that those were waived (believe this is a convenient excuse to squeeze the orange as hard as possible, seeing how this relationship is circling the drain, or to start charging when they should have previously - I believe it's the former).

How Did We Find the DealThis is a property we found through our relationships/network.

I have been fortunate to have a couple of great partners, and having things in writing is especially important in maintaining relationships that are already good, in addition to protecting yourself.

Also ask them if they are related or have any relationship (then check out both on Facebook make sure they were not parting together night before or from same city).

Luckily the landlady on the other side was very cooperative and sent a plumber who fixed it from my side since my wall was open.You also buy a relationship with the neighbor so it's a good idea to dig a bit and figured them out...I didn't btw but seem to have been lucky this time around.

@Jake Barneyprobate is a courthouse records search also start building relationships with attorneys that deal will wills and probateProthonotary office is where they file legal papers find your county's office and ask them for the list most jurisdictions call it Notice of Default.Another way is to Direct Mail.

Finding tenants, leasing, accounting, maintenance, tenant relationship, issue resolution, turnover, and a ton more.

Perhaps stay in touch and build a relationship to leverage knowledge but find another knowledgable broker in your target market. 

Build relationships and see if you can find someone to partner with to get things going.
