REI Expo

[Scott Rowsick]

Hey All,

I almost wish I could post this anonymously; I'm admittedly feeling rather sheepish. I went to the REI Expo in Dallas today (I live in the area). I got some great information, met a few new people, and actually have the opportunity to go to a house flipping seminar over a weekend in March.

As I stated in my previous post, I'm new to this.  I'm new to Dallas, and I'm just now putting my foot in the water in terms of real estate investing.  I made business cards for this event that say I'm an Investor/Entrepreneur (I'm about six months from being a published author and 12-18 months from being a speaker), but I feel like I don't have much to offer most of the people there.  Maybe it's because I'm socially awkward, but, I'm wondering--how would you approach investors/patrons at this event in my shoes?  I'm more than willing to talk to people if I feel like I can offer them something, but I feel like I have no legs on which to stand.  Any clarity or wisdom on this issue would be very much appreciated.

Thank you all.  You're the best.
