I saw someone with an unmarked van installing cameras in my neighborhood this week.

The cameras blend in until you spot the first one.

After that, you can't un-see the top-heavy black poles everywhere.

And so I went down a rabbit hole... The cameras are mounted on poles about 10 feet tall with a small solar panel at the top. Some poles have additional hardware attached. There's a logo on the front of the camera that looks like a small branch. A quick online search led me to a company called @Flock_Safety.

Let's talk about why I love real estate as an investment strategy. 🤑

Number 1. Cash-in refi's. Who doesn't love putting more money into a property you've invested so much in already? 2. Depreciation. It means your building is slowly falling apart, and you'll have to pay a lot of money to build a new one down the road, but you can tax deduct it.

3. Property tax reassessments. Keep those teacher pensions funded. 🫡

You want to buy your first multifamily property, but you need to partner with investors to make it happen.

What do you need to know?

Here's a simple step-by-step outline for adding investors to your deal. 🤝 Create a list of potential investors. Go through your friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances. Talk with them about how much capital they have, when they'll be ready, what rate of return they're expecting, and what's their risk tolerance.

This will inform your next steps.
