Try to show him how REI can help you spend more time on the thing you're passionate about and then help him see that you'd like him to join you in that.

I've been waiting to join one of your meets and really lock down some key land lording and investment strategies from you.

I'm new to the biggerpockets family (recently joined) but been an avid follower for months.

I first became interested in real estate after joining www.financialmentor.com.  

I'd join the local REIA group and start networking there.  

Your Free Gift, Just for Joining!

When I search for my buyer clients I have a database of developers, retail property management companies, individual owners and groups , other retail brokerage companies, construction companies, commercial attorneys, etc.There are specific single tenant net lease brokerages so if you want to get trained in that you might want to move to one of those companies.Look at joining ICSC.

@Marcus Napier glad you joined us!

Listen to the BP Podcast interviews  and join a local REIA to get to know local investors in your area.

Hey Ryan,Congrats on beginning your investor journey and for joining BP!
