I spent all this time working with you, forming a relationship with you...knowing that you, as a lender, are comfortable with me. 

Raising capital is all about relationships and it is a skill that can be learned.

My first question would be what type of relationship do you have with the property management company and landlord?  

Build the relationship!

I am making efforts to increase my network in the area & develop relationships with buyers who are spending time & money on acquiring majority off market deals & have spoken to them about keeping me in mind if they are looking to sell something they just acquired without having to do any work on it for profit as this method should still be a better deal than buying that property through the MLS if it popped up there.

That's a lot different than buyers you have talked to and/or built a relationship with.

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

As you mentioned with your relationship point, when you are growing faster than you can handle, you will quickly take on more risk than you realize.  

Broadly speaking I agree with the idea that you can't let tenants mistake their relationship with you.

With a preference for multi-family, I am looking to learn as much as possible while simultaneously building as many relationships as possible.
