Being both an investor and active agent I have a unique perspective on this, but as an investor if someone brought a 16-unit deal to my attention and I ended up buying it (or even if I didn't) I would be grateful and would want to preserve that realtionship in any way possible so I was the person she brought the NEXT 16-unit deal to as well.

As long as you are actively looking for deals, even if you don't buy anything you are learning valuable lessons about the market.
