How to find meetups or like minded people???

[Damon Moore]

Hi, 

I am new to Bigger Pockets and I am also in the process of purchasing my first home. While on this journey I would love to start going to meetups or finding like minded individuals related to investing in real estate specifically in my area. At this point I am completely down the rabbit hole and super committed but I need to begin to connect with like minded individuals. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions on finding these groups or people while I continue to learn on my journey. 

Thanks,
