Finding an Investor Partner
Today I watched a BiggerPockets podcast with 2 investors who created a partnership to start their real estate business. One important thing that they mentioned is that the two people who form a partnership must have the same interest in a certain investing strategy, such as buying and holding or flipping, which I agree with 100%. I am interested in starting my real estate business as a MF buy and hold investor. I attempted to find an investor partner on craigslist (as advised by other BP members) but instead I ended up finding a great mentor to help me analyze deals and the other guy was a potential partner but he's hard to get in contact with because he is very busy and always working. I am in the process of purchasing my first duplex that I am going to owner occupy but I want to work with a partner that is also interested in buy and hold investing in Tampa and has a few deals under their belt that can help build my rental portfolio. Any suggestions??
