Capital Partners - Find them first, or find the deals first? Advice Needed.

[Michael Germinario]

Hi BP!

Quick summary of what I am doing:  Acquire small multi-family properties with capital partners to put up the down payment money, bank finance the remainder of the loan.  Create win-win for all involved.  I've never worked with capital partners before, so I am wondering ... 

Is it better to find capital partners first and get commitment from them, or should I find the deals first?

Thank you!!

Mike
