Like @Jesse Rivera mentioned above, I also go to a few sessions but spend most of my time in the lobby or at the bar making connections."

Plan is to connect with him for guidance on the entire process.

It'll take time but can really pay off if you stick with it.I'm in Los Angeles and I've investing in TN and GA in the past, and currently investing in SE Wisconsin (your area).Let's connect and discuss the market.

To connect with investors you will have to move beyond just digital - you will have to connect as much as possible on the phone and face-to-face.

In-person interactions are great for building trust with potential investors.Real Estate Platforms:BiggerPockets: A robust platform for connecting with private lenders and investors.Fund That Flip, PeerStreet, Groundfloor: Online platforms connecting investors with real estate projects.Social Media Groups: Facebook and LinkedIn groups dedicated to real estate investing often have private investors or lenders looking to connect.Personal Network: Often overlooked, but friends, family, and colleagues may know individuals interested in investing.Private Money Brokers: If you're working on wholesaling deals, you may find brokers who have established relationships with private money lenders.Real Estate Agents: Some agents have connections with private investors, especially those focused on investment properties.For your 50% LTV, it's good to approach investors who may be interested in lower-risk, high-equity deals.

I have some connections there with other hosts/STR companies.

Im open to connecting

I love all things real estate, and thrilled to connect with like-minded individuals.   

Would love to connect and see how we can help each other.

The northland MAREI meeting and the main monthly meeting at MAREI have a minimal fee, or for $99 a year you can attend all of them for no extra charge - northland is in person, the main meeting is still online, both are great ways to connect and learn.
