Attending my first REIA Meeting..Nervous much

[Lian Chavda]

Okay, so i've come to realize that before taking steps into doing any investments what so ever in the field of Real Estate, I read EVERYWHERE that finding a mentor and meeting experienced people is the #1 guidance rule. I am looking to attend the REIA of WA meeting in Bellevue, WA this next Monday (3/6/15).

I am a bit nervous.. I tend to be shy at approaching people, but am very friendly, attentive and have many questions to ask and want to learn from all these experienced people. How do I overcome this fear of approach? (Its even worse in my love life to approach women lol). What type of questions do I bring up? Who do I ask? I am starting at the very bottom of the ladder of investing. I've done my share of research and reading. I don't want to come out as a super noob just trying to make a quick buck. I want these people to realize that I want to be taught, I want to be succesful, I want to learn and willing to work hard for it. I am taking this new aspect of life very seriously and want to succed! ADVICE! Criticism is one of the best learning tools!

Also, is there anything I should bring with me other than pen and paper??

 Over half of the people there probably new just like you!   Everyone at the meeting is friendly and interested in your success, and you might even find some people who can be your mentors! On top of that, investors buy and sell to each other, so you might find your first deal. Get some business cards printed up that say "I buy houses", with your name and phone number. Swap yours for theirs. Especially important is getting THEIRS.
