Approaching a CRE Broker/Investing in Apartments

[Jamie Parker]

I have been wholesaling for a little over a year now, I made some progress in my first year, but I want to move my investing career toward CRE. While I move in to the commercial arena for equity I will still pursue wholesale, flip, and new construction opportunities in the markets I am in (Nashville, Birmingham, Memphis) thru partnerships and direct mail. While I'm still a noob in the REI space, I want to know what are best practices to build rapport with a broker(s) to start walking properties and seeing deals before thy hit loop net or the MLS. My plans consist of: 1: purchasing a apartment 10-20 units. 2: partnering with an experienced investor on my first 1 or 2 deals until I gain the confidence to pursue deals solo. 3: becoming a CCIM in the next 5-10 years.
