I've become interested in finding an individual who can serve as a business partner (doesn't have to be 50/50, in fact wouldn’t want that), but a business relationships that would span across the entire business and someone who would share some of the workload, guarantor requirement and capital contribution and capital raising responsibilities, all of which currently falls on me.

The investors who prefer to lend privately rather than hold equity positions would receive promissory note tied to an individual property that their contribution is tied to?

I’m eager to connect with experienced investors and would love any advice or mentorship on getting started, from financing and property selection to management strategies.Looking forward to learning from this community and contributing where I can!

Any insights, advice, or local contacts would be greatly appreciated as I take this next step.Looking forward to learning from and contributing to this community!

As I build my career as an agent, I’m also passionate about real estate investing, specifically with a goal of purchasing multi-family, buy-and-hold properties where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m here to network, learn from experienced investors, and contribute to the community.

Looking forward to learning from all of you and contributing where I can.Best Regards,Gabriel
