Hi, @Antoine FieldsMost experienced syndicators that I've listened to give the following general advice...Talk with enthusiasm about the deals you have done and the deals you are doing with your network, if they pick up on it and express interest then take it from there.Position yourself as a thought leader in the real estate investing field and provide valuable online content through blogs, videos, etc.Have a way to capture investor leads through your website, offer something of value in exchange for an investors email address, and follow up to build the relationship further and build trust.When you speak with a potential investor, share your own story with them and speak about your own track record and experience and that of your team.Make sure that the investment is a good fit for them and the investor is a good fit for you and your goals are aligned.Once an investor is on board provide regular monthly reports on the status of their investment.
