you need to be networking, walking neighborhoods, building a team, and learning a market. 

Hey @Jonathan Chan, we have several gap lenders in our network.

Interested in networking and open to forming partnerships. 

Our city has a really active networking community, look out for local events via google or other FB groups.

You should come check it out and network with other local investors of all experience levels, ask lots of questions and pay attention to the content provided.

4) What are some effective ways to build a network and connect with realtors to establish valuable connections?

You should consult an attorney or CPA for your specific situation.ANONYMITY: When you create the LLC, your name is recorded on the documents and published on the Secretary of State's website for all to see.

I'd recommend attending local real estate meet ups to network with other investors and contractors if you plan to do a renovation.

Personally I have not had the best experiences with these sites, I typically go via word of mouth referrals from other investors I know from in-person networking in my market, or from the BiggerPockets referral tools.
