Connect/find local multi – family (apartment building) broker?

[Mohammed A.]

Hello All

I would like to find/connect/network with good multi – family (apartment building) broker in Maryland / Pennsylvania.I became of member of couple of RIEA meet ups and planning to join different sessions to build my network and meet brokers. Most of these meet ups seem to focus on single family investing.

I couldn’t find any meet ups specifically focused on apartment investing. Does this kind of meet up exist?

I could find local real estate agent and their review in Zillow for single family houses. But couldn’t find anything like that in loopnet. Does anybody know what is the best way to get in touch with local multi family broker?

Does anybody knows good/excellent multi – family broker in Maryland / Pennsylvania area. I understand Maryland / Pennsylvania is a big areas, but I am looking properties within 2 to 3 hours driving range of Ellicott City, MD.

Thanks in advance.

Mohammed.

Mohammed. This is not a short or easy process.  The typical reply I hear from commercial brokers is “why would I give this deal to you when I already have clients that can close on this”. The obvious reply is that the broker only gets paid when a deal closes and you “intend to close on any good deal that fits your criteria”

This may not be what you find but it can be discouraging so keep looking and analyzing deals
