Connecting with investors in the large multi-family space

[Funsho Adesanya]

Hello BP Family!

I'm a Chicago investor currently owning 10 units (2 fourplexes & a duplex) and looking to start scaling into larger multi-family properties (5+ units). Would love to connect with like-minded investors/operators in this space. 

Thanks!

@Funsho Adesanya Welcome to BiggerPockets you are definitely in the right place. I am not in the Chicago area, but I would still like to share my knowledge. Joining events in your area is a great way to start connecting with other experts.

I would suggest looking for meetups and investment groups in your area. You can look for those by going to the BP Forums, enter the filter "Real Estate Events and Happenings" as shown in the photo below. Then you're able to put in your city or zip code and a radius that you'd like to search within.

I also advise you to interview investor agents and find one that best meets your criteria. Investor- Agents have a better understanding of profitable locations and help you understand numbers. They also have connections to contractors, lenders, and many other people that can help reach your goals. For this you can use the find agents tool at the top of BP. This will allow you to search for an area and show you some agents in that area along with their BP profile. You can then pick which one best fits your needs.

Best of Luck!
