Micheal this question can only be answered by the relationship that you have with your investors.

And I definitely do want to build great REI business relationships in the area, although I suspect I won't be doing flips for some time. :-)

Baffles me.Who else would break in, trash their former partner's possessions, write relationship-related epithets in black marker, etc.?

I ideally I would love to get 50-100 doors with a few investors who would like to build a great relationship based on trust, commitment and personal growth.

Honestly I have seen several Multi fam investors look more seriously at Mesa because the cash flow but yes like you said the purchase prices have gone up considerably, you really should just focus on building a few great relationships with wholesalers that come across the types of properties your looking for. also Garfield has quite a few multi family properties and the prices on those are pretty low in my opinion, I'm picking up a duplex there this this coming month.

I am looking forward to learning a lot from the forums and making contacts that result in win-win business relationships.

I do understand the idea of building a relationship first and identifying the seller needs before introducing a way that I can help.

I am in need of a contractor who's reliable and someone I can build relationship with going forward.

We have a relationship with a contractor already, but wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations for other contractors we could check in with. 

But- what can I do for a flipper in order to establish a mutually beneficial relationship?
