I am finally ready to start my adventure in REI and interact the the community more intimately. 

Basically, if you let them know that you will do additional marketing and bring them the leads, you can accompany them on seller visits and watch how they interact with a seller.If they are doing rehabs, offer to go by the project or accompany them.  

I have been having problems with the one that I am currently interacting with and when I complained the President/CEO sent an e-mail blaming me for the problem. 

I look forward to interacting and building relationships with you all here on BP.

I am interested in starting to acquire rental properties in my immediate area (MA 02375) to hold and generate income.I'm close to making my first deal and out looking at all types of residential single & multi-family.I'm looking at cash and leveraged deals for myself, but would also be open to private lending for those that have a strong track record of success.I have written down my plan, assembled a team and am actively looking at properties every weekend with my broker.I am also investigating checkbook IRA LLC's and solo 401K entities to expand my portfolio.I'm just finishing up Brandon Turner's audio book on Rental Property Investing and look forward to interacting with this community!  

My way requires a lot more interaction and supervision - it isn't really "passive" income.

Any advice would be much appreciated.Thanks and looking forward to interacting a lot more here!!

Did anyone have any interactions with this guy?

I suggest you continue to interact in the forums, listen to the podcast, and read a few of the recommended books so you can understand what niche is of interest to you.
