Need help networking

[David Roberts]

I'm from central illinois and looking for any events/gatherings to attend. I'm brand new in my journey to build something great. I'm lacking a network and relationships with like-minded people. Communities like these are terrific, but I feel getting out and actually meeting and getting to talk to other passionate people in real estate would help immensely. If not an event, what else could I do to reach out locally to start building these relationships? Thanks for any information you provide!

I'm in the NW burbs -- but Will, Cook, and DuPage county all have REI meetups. Just check FB for the groups or google them.

I will do that. Thank you!

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS. You can also check meetup.com or search facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

I agree with meetup.com for sure but if you can spring BPCON theres probably nothing better to jump start your journey!

Go to BP's "Build your team" -> "local meetups". I go to as many as I can and a lot of them are just networking with investors. Other than that, look on Meetup and you can find a lot of events near you!

I run a monthly meetup in Peru, IL.  Follow our FB group for details: https://www.facebook.com/groups/illinoisvalleyrealestateinve...

Check and see if you have a local REI group on facebook
