Looking for locals to network learn from
Hello everyone! I am located in the middle of every major city in Kentucky, it seems, so I am willing to travel a little to find some people to meet up with. Currently, I am working on getting myself financially fit and educating myself as much as I can while I wait for my investment funds to build. In the mean time, I want to begin to network with others. I currently work full time, but I work in the afternoons. This leaves my mornings open which is a challenge for doing things with others, but gives me the advantage of being able to do things while others are at work.
My short term goal is to buy my first property by February 2024, using the buy and hold strategy, for long term wealth. My long term goals include financial freedom, time freedom, and the ability to help my family and then contribute to a charity or start my own.
Any suggestions of nearby meetup groups that would be good for beginners?

Look at the KREIA group up that way.
