You want to establish relationships with property managers, general contractors, a Realtor, and a lender.Try and ask them their background and get a feeler for them.

Your best bet would be to use a mortgage broker that has access to a portfolio of hundreds of lenders and has an existing relationship with said lenders.

If not, I think that would be a great relationship to start building now if not.

Either way, having money relationships already established is important.

*This post does not create an attorney-client or CPA-Client relationship.

When you ask questions like can you enforce something as a live-in landlord, it usually means you have not maintained the hierarchy of the landlord-tenant relationship.

Your brand starts with your relationship with the potential tenant.

@Josh Thomas, I could make an introduction to  bridge lender, as that seems to be the type of relationship you're looking for. 

Build relationships and create value for them in some way 3.

Whether or not I am able to move forward on these properties, I am looking to create my "Core 4" team that David Greene talks about in his book.If anyone knows RE Agents, lenders, contractors, and property managers in the area, I would love to connect and hopefully develop a long term relationship!
