Although we do have our own money in every project we do, we rely heavily on our network of Private Lender's.

This allows you to participate from the comfort of your own home while still networking and learning.

I’m on deal #9 and have just started to have a network big enough to start getting information on off market deals.

Build your network by joining local real estate investor meetups or online communities like BiggerPockets.

My best advice is to work with someone who can easily plug you in with their network of GCs, PMs, and lenders.

Not to mention they are part of my network.

I’m Keagan, a realtor and investor based in Indianapolis, and I’ve worked with several clients on value-add multifamily deals and have done a couple myself.For finding off-market opportunities, I’d recommend:County Tax Delinquent Lists – Great for uncovering distressed properties.Direct Mail Campaigns – Target out-of-state owners.Local Networking Events – Connect with wholesalers who specialize in multifamily.I’d be happy to introduce you to lenders and share leads if Indy is on your radar.

Build your knowledge with books, podcasts, and online resources, and network through local REIA meetings and virtual platforms.

Prioritize properties with rental potential, plan for reserves and tenant strategies, and stay patient as you network and learn.

This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.
