Multifamily Mastermind Recommendations

[Jonathan Heagle]

Hello BP. I'm a financial advisor turned real estate investor. I started buying SFR last year when bond yields went to ~0%. I like the deals that I've done, but find SFR to be too slow and I'm interested in getting involved in multifamily syndications. I live in Santa Barbara, CA, so any investing will likely be from a distance (cap rates here are 3% for old properties).

I have devoured a bunch of content on multifamily and have plenty of connections to raise funds, but I would like to partner with someone with operational experience.  

I'm thinking that getting involved in a mastermind group will help me push the process forward and possibly introduce me to potential syndication partners.  I've come across Joe Fairless, Michael Blank, Rod Khleif, Think Multifamily, etc.  Does anyone have any experience with these groups and any opinions on which group may best fit my situation (long distance, networking etc)?

Thanks for your help!

@Jonathan Heagle Any of the groups you mentioned can fit you to network and meet people.  

You might want to attend an event either live now that some are opening up, or virtual, to meet LPs and GPs and be able to get your questions answered and see if there is a fit personally.  You can find out about Masterminds at the events.

Another post mentioned several events coming up soon.  Among them are Dan Handford (MFIN Summit, June 10-12) , Michael Blank (Deal Maker Live, July 15-17), and Jake & Gino (Multifamily Mastery, Oct 23-24).  I know these guys put on strong events.

Although I know of Rod Khlief and Mark Kenney (Think Multifamily) by name, I haven't met them or attended their events.  I know others who're active with them and pleased with their association with them.  

Another name who has been recommended to me is Dave Lindahl (RE Mentor) who has been in the business longer than most of the others.

Good luck to you!  Maybe we will meet at one of these events.
