An investment with an experienced sponsor can mitigate some risks because you are participating in a larger acquisition than you might be able or willing to do on your own (which gives economies of scale), and you get to leverage the sponsor’s experience, judgement, track record, network and deal flow.But it also adds risks by adding an additional component not present in direct real estate investing:  the investment sponsor.

Essentially no network except one amazing realtor who has been on this journey with me for 20+ years of me buying crazy fixer uppers :).  

I’m looking to network in San Antonio!

I’m looking to network in San Antonio!

I know he's worked with a bunch of out of town investors and runs the South Hills group for the Pittsburgh REIA (another good place to network).

You can use this site for tons of knowledge and also the networking is amazing .

I can't wait to meet and start networking with the people of this community. 

Along with analyzing opportunities, establishing relationships via networking has been exciting and looking forward to more!

Thanks in advance, and I’m always open to network just in general

I've even reched out to others to try and network or point me to the right direction...but for some reason I'm too scared to take the chance.
