Is it inappropriate to ask my own landlord real estate advice?
A little background on my own situation. I am a college student and I work at a hardware store where a large amount of our customers are contractors and landlords. This coming fall I will be renting from one of the landlords that frequently shops at the store I work at. I have gotten to know him over the last year or so and he seems to be fairly friendly with me and the rest of the staff at the store. Since I myself will be renting from him, would it inappropriate to ask him for advice and/or seek out a mentorship from him? He is a successful agent and investor and I think I could learn a lot from him.
