How Does A Newbie Get A Partner??

SSJustin profile photo

I am new to real estate investment. I would like to start doing short sales and options. I don't necessarily need a partner (I don't think), but I feel it would probably help. I don't have oodles of cash sitting in the bank, and my credit was marred by job loss last year. So I think a partner is the best bet for deals that I need financing for or chunks of cash. Am I right in this assumption, or is there another way that I am missing?? Possibly hard money lenders? What do you pros think is the best way to tackle my goals with my situation. Thanks for all your input...it sure is needed!

    You are getting started from the tone in your post so we encourage a huge amount of effort in the education department prior to seeking a funding partner. You must attract funding partners with straightforward money making deals. Keep moving ahead in learning the short sale approach to investing.

    go to the local real estate investors club and ask around.
    specially stand up in the beginning and tell everyone what
    you're looking for.
    if you have a deal, people will fall over themselves to help you. if they dont you know its probably not a great deal to
    begin with.

    Wow. Great advise guys. Thank you for all your help...I suppose my concern was that once I get a little more educated, and came to the point of finding partners, I would have trouble finding them and possibly lose some deals that I had already done my due diligence on. But it sounds like this isnt the case. Thanks for the input.
