Thanks @Brian Adams for taking the time to provide some feedback. I have actually read a bunch of your posts and am familiar with your company since I have been reading a lot about multifamily and apartment complex investing in the last few months.
The role of this individual would be to provide money for this potential deal.
Your points make a lot of sense. The reason I chose to frame the dialog from this angle is that I wanted to keep the discussion open, learn more about his current investment criteria, and not close any door. This would be my first deal and even though I like the multifamily property niche and as long as it aligns with my goals, I am open to another real estate play to get started and build the right team, especially since he would be a great long-term partner.
Regarding your last point, I still need to finish a few items to clearly show him that we should work together and that I am the right partner for him.
Thanks again!
