WPB RE Investor Conference-is it worth it?

Question

Totally new to real estate. Not in a position to start investing yet-waiting to be in a position of financial strength, but want to learn as much as possible about RE Investing and my local area while improving my financial position.

Living in West Palm Beach-super HCOL area. Hoping to house hack here as a first move but prices are a potential challenge. Found this conference when looking into local meet ups and wondered if anyone here has attended it or heard of it. I see the host as co authored a book with Jeff Greene-a major Palm Beach Developer. I wonder two things-as someone totally new to the concept of RE Investing will I be in over my head. Two-it this going to be a sales pitch for something given that the host is a wholesaler and rehabber?

Thanks for any thoughts

Susan

Hi Susan,

Local meetups, networking events and industry conferences can also be a helpful resource. Hearing from like minded people with their perspectives and experiences (particularly in your target market) can be a huge benefit. Best of luck on your RE journey and hope things progress well.

Im attending the conference this weekend I think you should go listen to the RE vernacular, network with people, follow up, be curious to put yourself out there so when you do have the financial capacity you at least make the connections along the way(RE is a relationship-predicated business). It's gonna be the first time I'm looking forward to it!

Haven't heard of this one, I am fairly active on networking groups in the area. Would love to chat about this one and other meetups I attend(without pitches!)
