How to start with investors?

[Collin WIlkinson]

Hello BP,

I am a new investor I am on my second deal all self funded.

I am looking into bringing investors into my future deals. How does one go about bringing investors in?

On another point how do you pay them? Everyone expects great returns. So, how does one pay them? Do you start out with monthly payments or, do you have them come in to cover the cost and pay them back with the rent?

I am looking for investors for future deals as well.

I would like to make some connections and talk with investors to see what they are looking for in an investor.

Thank you to all for your help.

First you check the SEC rules about marketing investments!  I am not an attorney or lawyer.  I think there are rules about advertising returns and such when marketing to people you don't know.  

AFAIK, you can only market investments to people you already know -- friends and family.  I think unless they are accredited investors.  Again, I'm not an expert.  I know a lot of people have started with coworkers.  There was a police officer on an early podcast, and I know some firefighters that have gone in on deals together.    All of your ideas about payments can work, too.

I'm sure there are others here that can advise you, so I'm commenting to get you some traction on your post, too!
