What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

.- How to avoid scammers - Best way to build a relationship and create a deal with a lender(how to find, keep, and have an ongoing business relationship)- Is the first deal usually 20% down or can I avoid that?

I have a 20% down payment ready for a property in early 2020, but I’m thinking it might be wiser to use 10% on a down payment and 10% on rehabbing the duplex the refinance out to a conventional loan with a newly rehabbed property.

Money and friends can be a combustible relationship.

Looking to get some recommendations for architects and builders I can start building relationships with in regards to new residential developments.

I would rather want to work for others best interest, because helping/being in their best interest build relationships and i am all for that! 

I have a love/hate relationship with old houses.

I don't think that would have been possible without have a long relationship with a single lender and a strong track record of performance.

Find the people actually doing it, and see what kind of relationship you can form with them.

Without a lot of experience, I'm not sure what the time commitment is going to be and what the value that we are bringing to the relationship is worth.
