Finding Apartment Syndication Deals

[Lillian Nguyen]

Hi I am looking for apartment deals to get involve with. I tried going to meet up groups and I still can not find deals even though there are investors there. By any chance does anyone know any apartment meet up groups that can help me achieve my goals?

Hi @Lillian Nguyen, I know how you feel and part of the challenge that I find the term “investor” is used too loosely on all the amazing blog, podcasts and forum channels we have acces to these days. 

The tips above by @Todd Dexheimer and @derrick kusuda are awesome, here on BP we can learn from the best.

Better keywords or terms to be using and searching for are "sponsor" or "syndicator" and similar variations. I have also found that 95% of all meet ups are not set up for multifamily investors or syndicators. Most are filled with all varieties of beginners wanting to learn how to get started in real estate in general, usually in wholesaling, flipping, SFR, mobile homes, duplexes and the like but not commercial multifamily. I'll be starting an on- and offline meetup group in the months to come to start filling that gap. I'd like to add that I too am such sponsor/syndicator (putting together an A-Team, co-sponsors and private equity or debt investors for each sub-market we operate in) whose underwriting and deal packages you might want to look at.

That said, make sure you educate yourself on the many posts, here and on other channels, what to look for in a sponsor and to become clear on what you want and on what level “game” you can “play” in.

Feel free to PM me here on Bigger Pockets so I can send you a personal invitation link to my current and future deals. We have a hot one in Phoenix coming up in April ;-)

I’ll send you a colleague request as a reminder with another link to block some time on my calendar should you be ready to talk things over.

Welcome to the exciting real estate tribe.

Cheers, Ken
