I recommend building a good relationship with your city inspector.

Best practices:  Good relationships are to say the least CRITICAL.

HelloI’m new to REI and I am wanting to start building relationships with local professionals and to start building my team.Can anyone recommend a good local, REI-friendly:RE agent,CPA, mortgage broker,portfolio lender RE attorney in the Schertz/Cibolo/Selma/San Antonio, TX region?

Introduce yourself and create a relationship.  

Good news is my stepson works for a septic guy, with whom I've set up a relationship that I'll send him business by not being afraid to purchase properties everyone else is afraid of with septic issues if he helps me out.Upon learning the septic failed, I told the realtor to cancel the sale.

Thanks a lot guys for the reply and keeping the conversation going :)In last two to three days have met lots of good people here and started good relationship !

If historically, SF rents increased by 7%, it's entirely possible that they are entering a period of near zero growth for several years to come.

I want a relationship that I can grow and build over the next 30 years as I build my real estate investment company.

If I can't have intelligent conversation though the relationship just seems to fade.

The building is walking distance from a college campus and less than a 5 minute drive to downtown area and 10 minutes from a community college, 5 minutes from a hospital and in the near future there will be a casino about 5 miles from it.I have a good relationship with the landlord so hopefully he is open to a creative deal.
