New to Bigger Pockets (hello from Las Vegas)
Hello, everyone!
I found the YouTube channel to be quite valuable. Now, I'm taking the next step and would love to engage and collaborate with other investors. As a newcomer here, my first question is about best practices.
I tried connecting with a few like-minded investors and encountered an error or got blocked after the second connection. I was wondering if it's considered bad practice to connect in a similar way as on LinkedIn, for instance.
I also attempted to respond to a few posts and noticed that every time I submitted a post, it would jump to the very bottom of the page. Do you receive email notifications when someone responds to a post? This is why I'm posting now: I'd like to understand the user experience (UX) a bit more.
Finally, if I wanted to connect with first-time investors, what is the best way to do this? I would appreciate your advice and any insightful tips on how to navigate appropriately within this platform. I'm trying to learn slowly and steadily, so I'm so curious to learn from investors with fewer than 10 properties who connect, collaborate, and engage here.
Thank you so much, and happy Friday, everyone!
It's great to be here.
Sincerely,
Zen
