Hi all, I am at the point where I would like to develop a relationship with a Private Lender to fund rental deals.

Hello @Dylan Patel,Some of the pros to getting your Real Estate license are:- Creating and building strong relationships with local RE investors and professionals.

"To make a long story short", this was the beginning of a "11-year relationship" with this bank.

It's the same treatment I get from my mortgage lender, my insurance company, my cellphone provider, and any other professional business.Treat this like a friendship and you'll eventually find out your renters do not see the relationship the same way.

Then don’t act like Mr Simmons here.Here’s what you WANT to do if you want to have a successful relationship with an agent:1.)

Having a relationship, where they can see how much you have in savings/checking and have maintained over a sustained period can help as well.I would not apply for anymore credit at this point. 

New Relationships:  Regardless of the ship (friend or relation), I give the talk regarding both are on one lease. 

If they see you as a friend they're more likely to care about maintaining a relationship (and pay you in a timely fashion). 

Connecting with Realtors within your network (inside and outside of your office) is a great way to build relationships in the industry.

The only way you're going to get a HML is if you have a long track record of success and strong relationship already in place.I would use the BRRRR equation to set a max purchase price: [(ARV x .75) - Reno Costs = Max Offer]I'm very nervous about having MFR tenants responsible for lawn care.
