Advice for newbie on finding the right partner?

[Benjamin Cohen]

As I'm starting my journey into apartment syndication, I'm realizing the most time efficient way to scale is through partnerships. Looking forward to and open to hear all kinds of advice on what signs to look for when considering partnering with someone?

As a newbie, I lack credibility and track record obviously; that being said, would it be best to look for partners in a similar boat (with high work ethic) or work with more experienced investors who’s looking to add someone on their own team? I'm definitely looking to provide value while also looking to build my core team as well. Any tips on how to balance that?

Looking forward to hearing back!
