@Ruel K. I definitely will! Thank you for sharing

@Sam Grooms thank you for sharing

I am a little discouraged because I hear over and over about how we find deals and how important it is to establish relationships with investors. My struggle is that I have gone to meet-up events, created a website, and put myself out there on social media, however, I keep coming across wholesalers, flippers, lenders, and brokers. No one who really invest in commercial multifamily units. People will like my posts and leave nice comments but no one reaches out to invest or they lose interest when they hear my minimum investment criteria. I only want to work with accredited investors and I am running in circles trying to figure out exactly how to market to them. I decided on starting a youtube channel but I am struggling with content. 

To all who have been where I am currently, what was your first video about?  Did you immediately begin talking about deals or more about yourself? I feel like I have a story to tell about my obstacles and triumphs as well as my struggles getting into this industry. My personality is bubbly and outgoing but in this industry, I think my outgoing personality wouldn't be acceptable. 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions or simply tell me about your youtube startup journey!<3

What skill sets or background knowledge did you have before closing your first deal? What skill sets or training did you acquire along the way?

I am very curious to understand what it takes both professionally and within yourself to be successful in commercial real estate investing. I am a young woman who wants to be a leader in the industry someday. I want to go back to school and get my masters in an area that will elevate my company and help establish myself in the investing industry ( I do not want to be an agent I want to be an investor). Still deciding on which path to follow, any suggestions or recommendations?

@Enrique Huerta ,

I understand what your saying, I see that regardless I going to have to leverage my partners. I was hoping there would be way around that but my partners are happy to help. I really thought it would we make them proud to see that I was able to get an investor on my own however someone else mentioned, that may I am coming off too "salesy"  which in turn could be what's hurting me. I need to work on simply building my network and relationships first.

Thank you for your dialogue!

@Mike McCarthy I love your response! I agree you have to do what's best and what works for you.

Thank you for sharing!

@Simon W. Thank you for sharing and you're absolutely right, I'm sure anything that doesn't sell within a certain time frame or financially doesn't make sense, gets demoed and the next "big thing" is drafted. My company is focused on adding value and do not want to deal with the hassle of major construction. However, sometimes I wonder, am I passing up a good thing just because it doesn't exactly fit my criteria. Should I expand my search or stay focused on my criteria. Sometimes our minds can be our worse enemy! Good thing I have mentors and you guys!

-Thanks again!

What are some reasons why you wouldn't purchase a building?  Over time, I found many outlying factors that would turn investors away, however, in the back of my mind, I still consider this thought often; someone is going to buy it eventually, so why pass it up.  Even if there's a lot of work to be put in, someone somewhere is going to have to "bite the bullet" and do it eventually so why wait? I know the logical answer but I would love to hear people's thoughts or past experiences!
