Tips for Newbies at Networking Events

[Will R.]

As someone new to real estate investing, its obvious I need to work on expanding my network within the real estate community and I'm hoping to get out to some meet up events soon. Networking events and seminars are nothing new to me, but does anyone have tips specific for real estate investing. What sort of questions or discussion topics have you found most useful/productive? What were your top priorities and goals of your first networking meetups? Thanks for the advice
