Hi All,I've been approached by an old colleague who wants to go into business with me buying and flipping and/or buying and renting properties in Upstate NY. 

As such it tends be for very large portfolios.RentManager is a bit legacy in its approach even though it is cloud based.

It’s a shotgun approach to insurance, in that they shop the entire market and find the companies that will accept your risk instead of you, yourself calling 10 insurance companies and wasting your time.

As a matter of fact, you may want to approach another company before you meet with the original guy.

So my question is, what would be a good place to approach and start a dialogue with potential investors/land equity partners?
