How to network and find partners to for multifamily investing?

[Abby H.]

Hello everyone, 

I am focusing on acquiring my first multifamily deal this year. Particularly I am looking at some 6-plex and 8-plex units in my target market. I am seeking recommendations on how to network with investors and find those who may be interested in coming on as a joint venture/partner. I'd be seeking someone to fund the down payment of the deal and I would be responsible for property management/bringing in funds for initial renovations for a profit/split. I've been previously working on acquiring single-family units via the house hacking method but this year, I'm shifting gears to take my goals to the next level. 

I'm looking for advice and recommendations on how to go about this. So many BP podcasts that I've listened to someone brought a "partner" in on the deal but they don't typically expound upon the journey to finding said partner. 

Thank you in advance for the help!
