New Investor Focused on Multifamily in KY & TN - Looking to Connect

[Patrick Lismon]

Hello everyone,

My name is Patrick and I am an investor actively analyzing value-add and stabilized multifamily deals in the Kentucky and Tennessee markets. My focus is on properties in the 10-40 unit range.

I am looking to connect with and learn from other experienced investors, operators, and potential partners who are active in this region.

If you are investing in these markets, I'd appreciate the opportunity to connect and introduce myself.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi @Patrick Lismon! From what I’ve seen, the fastest way to gain traction is to treat networking like deal-hunting: consistent and intentional. Start by locking in a strong property manager, a reliable lender, and at least one GC you’d actually trust with your own money. They’ll not only save you from bad surprises but also often bring you off-market leads. Walk as many properties as you can, even ones you’re not buying, it sharpens your underwriting and helps you spot hidden value-add plays. Keep a running database of brokers, PMs, and contractors with notes on each call so follow-ups are easy and you stay top-of-mind. Also, share your numbers and lessons openly when you meet people. Offering real data or helping on their projects creates reciprocity and real partnerships.
