I am really looking forward to meeting and discussing this with you! 

I've been listening to plenty of Bigger Pockets podcast and reading a lot of real estate books, all of which have stated or written, "attend REIA meetings or become active in your local REIA".  

I mean that especially in the beginning you have a lot of legwork to do and a lot of people to meet and talk with. 

Property investors meet many facets of the housing industry, including: Real estate agentsProperty managersMortgage brokersAttorneysAccountantsContractorsHome inspectorsYou never know where the next lead could come from, so get out and meet as many people as you can.

I started out only interested in wholesaling, but after listening to the podcasts, attending a real estate investor meet up and reading anything I can get my hands on (including @Brandon Turner's real estate investing with little or no money down book), I realize there are also many opportunities made possible by creative financing.

It's VERY nice to meet you all, and I look forward to getting to know you.

You need to understand their goals before structuring the partnership and analyzing apartment deals.For example, if you investors want a CoC return of 10% per year and a 5-year IRR of 16%, then your business plan needs to meet or exceed those returns.
