How do you build relationships when you can't network in person?
So, you want to be a multifamily investor, but…
You’ve never done a deal before. You don’t feel comfortable approaching potential partners. The pandemic has shut down all of the usual networking events. And you live six time zones ahead of the market where you’d like to invest.
But what if all of these challenges are really just opportunities to grow?
On the latest episode of the Apartment Building Investing podcast, we sit down with Michael Blank and Garrett Lynch to share our simple system for turning virtual events into networking opportunities and following up with the people we meet.
We explain how we built a thought leadership platform right away and describe what kind of educational content we create.
Listen in for insight on turning roadblocks into opportunities and making the best of whatever situation you’re in to make your dreams of financial freedom a reality!
