Finding a local real estate investing group

[Shawn Prushinski]

Hello everyone, I am new to the world of real estate and I'm trying to learn. I understand a lot can be learned from local investors and groups that they are a part of. I'm all for that, but, how do I find them? And how do I assess that the group(s) I find is what I should be involved in? I believe I'm going to be focusing on small multi family homes to start with. Are there groups out there that focus primarily on multi family investors? Thank you all in advance!
