You can also directly use the BP Marketplace to find potential JV partners or buyers, which is a great way to connect with people who are already looking for investment opportunities.In addition to online forums, attending local real estate meetups and conferences can give you face-to-face interaction with potential partners or buyers, which often builds stronger relationships.
