Quick question for those who do a lot of jv deals

Where do you usually find wholesalers who are open to JV partnerships? I'm trying to understand how people build those relationships and consistently find reliable JV partners with good off-market deals.

Would appreciate any advice.

    I've seen a lot of successful JV relationships start through consistent networking rather than one-off deals. Local REI meetups, investor groups, and communities like BiggerPockets are a good start, but I think the key is working with people who communicate well and consistently close what they put under contract. A few strong relationships usually go further than a large list of contacts.

    The real question isn't "where do you find JV partners" — it's "what do you bring to the JV?"

    @Kerry Noble Jr's networking approach works (2k+ posts, 1k+ votes — he's been doing this a long time), but here's what I've learned: capital partners don't partner with wholesalers because they're friendly. They partner with wholesalers who bring them deals they can't find themselves.

    @Vijay Friedman nailed it with "consistently close what they put under contract." That's the trust builder. But here's the flip side: the wholesaler who closes consistently is the one whose leads are pre-vetted with real data, not just a name and address from a generic list.

    Here's what changed my JV game: instead of finding deals and then looking for partners, I started with county data convergence. Pull three public records — Tax Collector (tax delinquent 2+ years), Code Enforcement (open violations), Clerk of Court (probate/liens). When the same property shows up in all three, you have government-confirmed distress. That's not a guess — that's documented motivation from independent county sources.

    When you bring that to a capital partner — "here's a property with $15K in tax liens, 3 open code violations, and an active probate case" — they don't need to trust your judgment. The county data does the convincing. The JV becomes easy because the deal speaks for itself.

    So my advice: don't just network. Build a pipeline of converged leads first. Then when you network, you're not asking "will you partner with me?" — you're saying "I have 15 properties with confirmed distress across three county databases, want to see them?" That's a very different conversation.
