Someone pitching to me on the phone who I've never met has about a 0% chance to get any of my money.I would focus on trying to get into REI events, conferences, workshops etc. to meet someone in person and start a conversation and build a network that way.

Podcasts and conferences are where you'll get the best education.

We asked some of our key speakers to give us some brief insight on what you can expect to discover at the conference in our Speaker Insight eBook, including:What have you changed about your property management best practices?"

Here are a few strategies:Start with 2 to 4 units to build a track recordCreate a thought leadership platformPassively invest in a few syndicationsBring on a sponsor who has a track recordSurround yourself with a spectacular teamRaise capital and parnter with someone who has operational experienceIntern with an experience syndicatorHire an experienced syndicator as your mentor

I am in Orlando, FL for a work conference and would like to interview a few property management / real estate companies while I'm here.

I suppose Cozy will be affected by big change due to other leadership.

Attend the conferences, networking events, deal making functions.

(Don't worry, I'm not asking you to give them up or share; although, please feel free :)  I know that what may work incredibly well with one type of investor may clash horribly with another so, I'm looking more for the how and the whys.For example: What questions did you ask potential property mangers or contractors to help you determine that it was a good fit for your leadership style?  

We attended an OZ Conference in Portland, Oregon where they already have a few projects up a running and have talked with a few contacts about setting up a fund.If you are genuinely interested I would love to connect you with the owner/organizer of the conference.

Let’s set up a conference call to discuss.
