How do you build relationships ?

Question

Hey everyone!! I am working with investors currently and putting myself out there to help them with whatever they need as much as I can. But I’m curious, what did you guys do when you were first starting out to really market yourself and build those relationships with investors?

There are a few ways to find investors.  You want to look at a team scenario to start, a realtor, title company, mortgage broker and yourself as a property manager.  Set up programs to help tenants prepare for home ownership.

Get to know Realtors in your area and offer them use of free rental comparisons doe their clients.

Work out a referral program that any properties they send to you will be returned to them at end of rental use when returning to market.

It won’t take long before you have a group of realtors you trust and like working with that send referrals your way.

Hi @Jenna Barnes! I’m new to RE investing, just did my first trip to my target market to check out the neighborhoods and see some houses.

So far for me, asking questions and personal messaging people on the bigger pockets forums has been huge for me.

Also letting people in my everyday life know I'm looking into RE investing. You never know who you may meet! I already met quite a few people from my job.

For me, I also plan on starting an Instagram account documenting my RE journey hoping to help others learn from my successes and my failures and build relationships along the way.

I don't know if this is much help, but figured I'd put myself out there.
