3 Things We Learned From Michael Blank
Build relationships with good brokers
The best way to find clients is through brokers. Good brokers foster long-lasting relationships with apartment owners, so they\u2019ll be the first to know when an owner is considering selling. Work to gain the trust of these brokers, and they\u2019ll be sure to connect you with the right people.
Follow the \u2018Law of the First Deal\u2019
The law of the first deal states that within 3-5 years of completing your first deal, you\u2019ll become financially free. Once your first deal goes through, you\u2019ll also find that the second and third come in rapid succession.
Form partnerships
Partnerships are gaining popularity because of their ability to serve a range of needs. Real estate requires people who can talk to clients, as well as analytical ability, for instance. If you know people whose capabilities differ from yours, consider partnering with them to ensure you\u2019re covering all the bases in your business.\xa0

Build relationships with brokers and people who have the skills you need for your business. Once you have these relationships, work towards your first deal. From there, the only way to go is up.
