Share with them what you're doing in real estate, the opportunities you're looking at, and what you hope to achieve.Through these conversations, you'll get a sense of the types of questions that people might ask about your opportunities and investing with you, so you'll get better at speaking to those things and addressing their questions and objections.If you have friends and family interested, that is the best, as they already trust you, and trust is the most important thing when finding passive investors for your deals.
