Networking for beginners

[Gabriel A Camacho]

So I am new to real estate investing - currently don't have any deals or projects. 

im located in Connecticut - 

Im a beginner and am looking for experience and knowledge and more information - as a beginner I want as much information as possible with the experience 

I know a lot of people who start- they network, meet different investors and different people in the real estate world . 

So my question to you is - if you're from CT - are there any meet ups or networking events that happen - that beginners are welcome ? 

If not from CT and there's any networking events or groups online - id love to hear which groups you recommend/ webinars .

lastly, any advice on how to properly approach investing professionals as a beginner - would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you for your time and your advice - I truly appreciate it .
