I'm trying to network and build a group of people with the same interest and similar goals in mind. I have a remodeling crew- five years doing rehabs, 30% cheaper then average and top quality, I come across deals 30%-40% their arv, I just don't have the funding. Partners come and go and I'm trying to build my team of cash partners and I don't know where to look. People would say REI meetings but all of the successful real estate investors who own huge companies and have investments everywhere that I know, have never went to a single meet up or recommended I go to one. But I'm looking for some guidance on how to network what I'm offering and what I'm seeking. I'd like to know where can I find these people? That could afford to invest and are interested in investing. Thanks for any responses. How Can I reach them? I'm thinking fliers. Thousands.

@Minuit Spence I’m close to the same position. But I offer contractors service at a discount, top quality, dependable, etc. and I am partnered with a few money partners. I’m working on building a team of individuals to essentially put our cash, our time, and our efforts as much as we’re able to make our goals come to fruition. And hopefully we can be on the same page as far as goals. Or find ways you guys could still partner and help each other reach each other’s goal.
Come with deals at 30% arv that are great deals. Nobody would turn down a good enough deal. So it’s all about networking and building something-to then offer when you are seeking partners. Skip the banks, loans, etc. and go meet some people and save, wholesale.
Thanks.

@Charlie Chres I would just say finding a contractor who is solid but there’d be no literal way to prove it. Or hire someone you know or may be able to find to meet with contractors and choose one. Or go little by lite. Sending a contractor to do one thing like paint the exterior and see how they do. That’s how i would manage the risk if I were you.
