For the Multifamily Investors

I am working on underwriting multifamily properties right now, and I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on how investors find people for their syndications. I think that’s one of the hardest parts, especially when starting. Credibility can be one of the biggest hurdles too. Curious to see what you guys think!

From what I've seen, most successful syndicators don't start by finding investors; they start by building relationships.

A lot of newer sponsors focus on the capital first, but credibility is usually built over time through experience, education, networking, and consistently showing people how you evaluate opportunities. As a co-founder of a co-investing club, one thing I've noticed is that investors tend to back people they trust and understand, not just deals with attractive projections. The relationship often comes before the investment opportunity.

@Antonio Velez - I agree with Brian. I think focusing on sharing your story with others and developing relationships will yield conversations and potential investors. I'm working on this with my network... It definitely takes time to build that trust and confidence from them to invest along side you. Good Luck!

Credibility is definitely one of the biggest hurdles early on. A lot of sponsors start by partnering with experienced operators, building a track record through smaller deals, and consistently networking with potential investors long before they have a property under contract. Are you underwriting smaller multifamily (5–20 units), or are you targeting larger apartment communities?

Develop a track record of doing your own (smaller) deals. Start networking and tell people what you are working on. Don't start asking for money until later. Then grow slowly so your raise is not very much for subsequent deals. Expand a little each time. It takes a long time to build trust and don't rush it.
