New to Commercial Real Estate (Located in Hoboken/NYC)

[Patrick Camuso]

Hi Everyone,

I have been a BP member for awhile, I have listened to a ton of podcasts, read a lot of articles, and have done a considerable amount of research outside of BP as well related to commercial investing.

I am planning on attending networking events in the  NYC/NJ area as I become aware of them to further my knowledge. I am currently lacking experience and access to knowledgeable people outside of the forums. 

My question is when is the right time to begin making contacts in the industry (i.e. lender, brokers, etc.). I would like to be proactive and build relationships without wasting anyone's time or seeming to move in haste.

Any advice is appreciated.

All the best.
