Kyle,

As others have stated, it will take time to build relationships with potential partners. The best time to start is now and while you're at it, I recommend that you mock up a deal, all the paperwork, and pieces to the puzzle that are needed. It also gives you the material to talk to potential investors and you can say "If I had something like this today, would you be interested?" That way, even if you are a "rookie", somehow it assures them that you know what you are doing. Hope this helps!

Mrinal,

Will each of you play an active role in the deal? If that's the case and you're more likely going into a joint venture agreement or partnership, you might want to check out this link for reference:

Of course, as others have stated here, it's best to consult an attorney when dealing with a partnership. I wish you the best on your real estate journey!

Matthew,
You've got a lot of great advice here, so I would say that if you are looking to shadow a Syndicator, you have to know what you can bring to the table instead of asking them how you can help. Look for a group and deals that will make use of your strength whether it could be investor relations, raising capital, underwriting deals, etc. I also recommend mocking up a deal as if you are going to present it to a group of investors to have a feel on what you are getting into. Hope this helps!

Joshua,
Here are my recommendations:
1. Check out the events near you - https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenings
2. The Real estate guys show usually host awesome live and in-person events - https://realestateguysradio.com/events/
3. Jake and Gino - https://jakeandgino.com/live-events/
4. Increase not only the social media posts but also engage with your followers (sending a thank you message for a new follower goes a long way!)

Good luck and I wish you the best on your real estate journey!

We're investors here in Portland. I think a lot would say that landlord/tenant laws are not investor-friendly. But, looking at the natural resources that are close to Portland and the artificial urban growth boundary continue to keep it desirable on the list of places to reside. I also think that this pandemic has forced many people to reevaluate whether they need to be tethered to their particular city. Sure we will have some people leave Portland. But we continue to gain people from California and their population is 10x Oregon’s. So, if they had a 1% attrition rate to Oregon and we had a 5% attrition rate elsewhere, we’d still be gaining 5% in the population. Oregon and Portland continue to be some of the most valuable/affordable locations to live on the west coast in my opinion.
