I also look forward to establishing relationships with those that can be my mentor to guide me through this venture.Right now my goals are to increase passive income and increase net worth.I also would like to add that I attended my first real estate seminar this past week (6/18,19,20) reference foreclosures by Jeff Schnitter from Enlightened Wealth Institute in the Miami downtown area at the Marriott and I must say, for a free three day seminar I learned ALOT.

The broker does not.....pretty simple.I owned a secondary market brokerage operation for about twenty years and at no time could I not beat the rate of any institutional lender in the area.

Joe you are not understanding a key point.Investors such as yourself DO NOT typically invest in Class A properties for the reasons stated.The cash flow returns you want are not there.Larger buildings that are Class A with Multifamily mainly comprise institutional buyers,pension funds,REIT's,Insurance companies.What those companies want to do is have security OVER cash yield.So if the CAP is 4.5% going in they can eventually increase the cap through rent increases that are outpacing annual inflation rises.Through increased rents,tax offsets yield can be increased.No it's not going to be 10% etc. but all these companies are trying to to is protect the money,grow it a little,and outpace annual inflation.Hope you understand now why this is not a target for everyday investors.Many investors look for 20-150 units value add class B or C they can turn around instead.

Here's a few market segments I think you have room to further expand on-commercial/ institutional developers and investors- appraisers- architects- engineers- Wall Street (real estate private equity funds, debt funds, reits, investment banks)I'll leave you with how to bring all these members on an entice them a bit but id love to see some of the conversations that would result.

The financial institution may want insurance to pay off the loan in case something happens to either of you.

There are multiple institutions and private lenders that you can find online.

I'm an Agent in Denver working with quite a few investors both in and out of state and I've seen a pretty big shift from Multifamily to Single Family investing by both mom & pop investors as well as institutional money YTD compared to 2017.

Large institutional capital investments across a variety of sectors (retail, industrial, MF & office.)

SpaceX is only getting bigger, Magnolia isn't going anywhere (the Gaines just announced a 15 episode behind the scenes series), expanding suburbs around Waco, TSTC, MCC and their partnership with multiple four year institutions, Baylor (still recovering), and Waco is smack dab in the middle of Austin and Dallas on the I35 corridor.

I say all this to ask my real question: How the hell do I present this professionally to a person or institution so they can feel reasonably inclined to take a chance on me and the deals?
