Navigating Broker Relationships

[Brock Burton]

Hi BP fam,

I am curious to hear how some of the more experienced multifamily operators have created strong relationships with brokers. I think this is a pretty common obstacle starting out, but with no experience or any real credibility, how do you get a broker to trust and believe in your vision and then send you deals based on your investment criteria? Is it through reaching out on LinkedIn? Is it getting referrals to brokers in your area? Maybe it is contacting a broker about a listing and talking through some of the things you see after underwriting a deal.

Interested to hear any thoughts on this!
