It's a long term business. Relationships are important and burning any bridges in the beginning of a career is a recipe for a short career. Better to talk to your contact and sort it out. Remember, it doesn't need to be a 50/50 split. Offer up something and it will go a long way for you.

Seeing the same type of properties here in Portland, Maine. I have recently started into real estate again. Very different market than what I had played in during the late 80's. We can't get close to 2%. I am resigned to be patient and to look for properties that can be upgraded for increased value. Looks like a seller's market for sure but there's still opportunity. Patience is easier for me now. In my 20's, not so much.
