Taking that next step in Real Estate

[Bradley Scruggs]

Hoping this is the right forum!

HI everyone! I am a fairly new real estate investor in Rhode Island. My wife and I are working on closing our second multi family a 4plex. That being said coming into the new year I am wanting to sindicate a deal. I have a lot of resources but no experience. Due to Covid it has put a hardship on getting out there and networking. My question is, how does one network? Everyone says that is a need in real estate to be successful, so here I am.

Thank you for your time!

@Bradley Scruggs, congratulations on what you've accomplished so far!  

Virtual networking is a challenge, but here you are!  I'd second Anthony's suggestion on our local groups.  The RI one is large, but there is a good chance of finding people that you connect with.  And when you meet those people and know what you are looking for (ex: syndications), it's easier to find the right people..."Why do you know that is syndicating?"...and the connections will begin.  

Time and patience will be your friend on this journey.  As an example, we recently just dipped our toe into the partnership pool with someone I met two years ago.  For many people, it takes time to build trust...but you have started just by making this post!  

If you ever want to chat real estate, I'd be happy to do so.  My husband and I started in 2017 and may have encountered many of the same ups and downs you did.  And we're still here stumbling our way through this :)
