Then, if you are using a PM, take them with you to meet the tenants. 

Although if you really want to be an agent full time, joining a successful motivated team is probably the best thing you can do - meet with several different teams with a few different brokers to see who you feel most comfortable with.

The numbers need to make sense and meet all your requirements, but the folks you choose to build that relationship with need to be transparent and stable (ie they won't be closing shop in the next 10-15 years).

I am looking to meet some of the "top or best" lenders in the Dallas area and would love to just talk to them and pick their brains on lending and credit. 

We'd love to meet new folks in the area and would be open to partnering on deals to continue the learning curve, particularly in the small multi-family rental space (easy access to PATH/mass transit).Looking forward to sharing our experiences and connecting with you.Best,Nick Senter

@Juan Jackson @Jason Clarke @Kevin Sobilo I am meeting with my realtor this week to go over some numbers/projections as well.

I am looking to meet and network with all types of professionals in this area.

Never tried any of the rest, but might now that I had to write them out and think about them. 1) Go to every architect, interior designer, top real estate agents/brokers, loan officers in town and shake hands, drop off do-nuts, take them out for coffee/beer and do it regularly. 2) Hit every REI meeting in town and offer to speak at some about the multifamily and spec building process. 3) You may consider joining and participating in whatever local business communities you are in. 4) Offer referral money to subs. 

I am planning on attending any REIA or BP events I can in the coming months, so look forward to hopefully meeting some of you face to face in the near future!

You can hand out your card at school owned restaurants then you won’t have to meet any standards the school may have while at the same time being able to still advertise to studentsThat’s my 2 cents.
