Getting a relationship started with a local/regional bank can go a long way in building your portfolio in the future. 

There are just so many ways to build a buyers list but it comes from a personal relationship.

@Angel BodonBasically what I’m doing right now is kind of what everybody else on the post has been talking about I am calling the local credit unions and developing a relationship over the phone kind of telling them my plans and after this stay at home order is over and done with moving forward with the application

I am a mortgage banker and have been talking to a lot of my real estate agent relationships and there is major talk of a big decline in NYC real estate values.

However, there are still companies powering through finding ways to make deals happen.With the protection the government is providing to banks, they are still able to lend as well.Three key words to remember when raising capital that will help you get started: Relationships, Plan, Deals.Relationships - This industry is based on relationship building and trust.You must establish trust with investors.

You want to establish relationships with property managers, general contractors, a Realtor, and a lender.Try and ask them their background and get a feeler for them.

Your best bet would be to use a mortgage broker that has access to a portfolio of hundreds of lenders and has an existing relationship with said lenders.

If not, I think that would be a great relationship to start building now if not.

Either way, having money relationships already established is important.
