Welcome to Nashville :) I just private messaged you.

dedicated phone numbers.. first class check in TSA private clubs.. the Amex Centurian clubs at Vegas etc.. have full on meals if you use those like I do not only do you get the miles but you get good food for free.. and you know how expensive and usually poor food is in most airports.

Their office is literally next door to the biggest Title company in town, so everyone knows each other. 

That being said, there are three main apartment building brokers in the country, two being ARA and CBRE, so maybe you could take a look at that.Regarding the meetups, you should be able to find a good multifamily investing meetup/club where you can connect with like-minded people that are in the same niche and have the same interests as you do, like the Miami's Multifamily Investing Club down here in Miami where I live @Lennon Lee  if you don't find it in Ellicott, you'd probably find it in the nearest biggest city, like Baltimore for example.Hope this helps!

So I'm using private money to buy some of my rentals.

My second biggest tip for getting started would be to network, network, network!

@Matt McKinney- private lending for a share of the deal is one option...

Please send me a private message

Additionally, I see this as having potential to be a larger relationship, in which I raise capital from private investors and bring them to him.Can I please have your recommendations/comments about different ways to structure this, both in the short term and long term.Thank you in advance!
