Wanting to talk to a experienced investor!

Hey everyone how's it going? My names Peyton I'm 18 and looking to start my real estate journey. I've been listening to BP Podcast for a little over a year and have been listening to BP audio books any chance I get trying to learn as much as I can and will appreciate any input. I currently live on the Eastern shore of Maryland but am looking to move somewhere on the "western shore"(some where west of the bay bridge within a hour of the DC area). My current first step in my plan to be financially independent in 5 years is to find or create a duplex and house hack it. The reason I'm posting this is because I'd like to talk to someone with experience investing in multi family homes and if someone in the Maryland, DC, and even the Arlington VA area would be willing to meet with me and answer some in depth questions that would be beyond great. Thanks for any help and input! ~Peyton

 Hey Peyton!

I've been running the Central Maryland REI Social for about 6 months now and think it would be a great event for you to come to. We meet at the end of every month at Jailbreak Brewing Company in Laurel, MD. We have quite a few experienced investors, realtors, lenders, etc who show up. It's really low key but everyone is pretty excited to talk about their real estate journey. Hope you can make the next one! I'll post the link to the last event:

    Welcome Peyton, 

    I'm in NoVa, there is an in person meet up group that meets once a month. Find below the BP link. Next one is Thursday May 12th. You will be able to meet there, other investors, agents, lenders, pretty much all connections you can find in real estate. 

    https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

    I would recommend attending, let me know if you come and I will introduce you to everyone. You can then talk to different members of the community and see the path each person took. 

    You are off to a good start, talking to people and networking will give you a vast amount of knowledge and you will know exactly what to do when the time comes.

    Look for REIAs in your area.  There you can meet up with 100s of investors with all different kinds of experiences, ideas, lessons, and thoughts.

    You can look on facebook or meetup to find these groups.

    ^^^ This! DC is the only place where I have seen MFs, hardly any outside the beltway.
