Finding the right Partners

[Sonia Thornh]

Hello everyone I envision y’all are well. I’m new to BP and investing and would love some advice!

Currently in Houston establishing a group of Military veterans, (as I’m a combat Vet myself) to purchase fix and holds to rent via Multi Family, Apartments, large commercial deals. I’ve been an operator at several concepts and have a successful track record of running profitable start-ups, short-term rentals (2 myself) which is why I am avoiding house-hacking as the entry point. 

I have attended several real estate workshops with ‘gurus’ that came with a $20-60k price tag, and Lifetime Unlimited (per suggestion from someone here on BP). Yesterday I went to the Foreclosure Auction at the courthouse, and realized I desire to partner with the right mentor ASAP (to avoid reinventing the wheel). 

My questions, when looking for a real estate investment mentor what route did y’all take (I’ve got none in my network, reached out to several on BP whom aren’t mentoring), creating a long term game plan, finding your team and narrowing down to the experts in this field; particular hard money investors, Investor friendly Brokers, agents, CPA, attorney, etc (I’ve reached out to several on here). 

Thanks in advance for taking the time any advice is appreciated and welcomed. Sonia
