Apartment Sydicaton - Connecting with Experienced Syndicators

[Jeremy Toney]

Hello Bigger Pockets Community!

I’m looking to connect with experienced apartment syndicators and related professionals! As I pursue this field of real estate investing, I want to position myself with the right people! I am looking to develop relationships with experienced syndicators to gain expertise in the field and mutually offer value in return. I am a highly motivated professional and extremely driven and motivated to extract every bit of knowledge that I can to further my career in real estate syndication. I have been self educating myself for the last 10 years in investing and real estate, recently left my career of 17 years as a restaurant general manager to pursue real estate, started a residential remodeling business that I currently own and operate, and to add to the “resume” I am now a licensed Realtor in North Carolina. I am constantly educating myself further in the field of syndication as I build capital for my future endeavors, including diligently studying through current on market OM’s and teaching myself the underwriting process. All while this is fine, and I will get to my first syndication in due time, I know that networking with other active syndicators and related professionals will progress my skills in the field faster and foster future relationships. While it would be great to have a mentor, I do not expect that from anyone, but information that will help guide me towards efficient consultants in the field, and just connecting with folks in the industry experienced in this area to network with and develop long lasting relationships with would be my ultimate goal as I continue to learn the syndication world and all of its moving parts.

Thanks everyone and I am eager to engage with everyone and their recommendations!

 Definitely recommend chatting with people in person where you can get it, between those events would definitely try to connect with people on here, Linkedin, FB, etc and try to schedule calls to learn as much as possible.

In the mean time , I would definitely read up on syndications books like "The Hands off Investor" by Brian Burke. It was huge when I was first learning about this space.

Listen to podcasts, watch youtube videos etc.

Good luck!
