.• Key Piece of Advice: One thing I wish I’d known sooner is that networking here is about cultivating long-term relationships rather than just quick wins.

@Richard Schubert If the house next door is a solid enough deal you could always raise the money from people in your network to tie it up.

This is why we network with other real estate investors - kind of like what you are doing here!

Try networking locally with HML's who know the market. 

Looking for potential analysis pitfalls, offer strategies, analysis metrics, discussion of local market conditions, and general networking/camaraderie. 

I did it after I purchased my first park, but gained a ton of valuable insights and networking opportunities as well.

Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.

To connect with potential partners, consider attending local real estate investor meetups where you can network with those looking to invest passively.If you’d like to explore HM financing options, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat!

I also spent a lot of time networking with other investors and professionals to get advice and tips.

Hey Hazel feel free to PM me, I have a strong referral network and would be happy to connect you.
