How have local meetups helped your investing career?

[Noah Bacon]

Welcome to BiggerPockets Question of the Week!

So many of our new users are asking where they can get started networking and meeting local investors, and I always recommend finding a local meetup!

I can personally say that going to local meetups jump started my investing career by absorbing knowledge from those already investing in real estate in my local community.

How have meetups helped your real estate investing career?

What advice would you give someone looking to go to their first meetup?
