My first Real Estate Investor Meeting

Hello Everyone! My name is Darionn Trigg and I am brand new to the real estate field. I'm currently in the process of educating myself on real estate investing, in particular Real Estate Wholesaling. Wholesaling is something I quickly fell in love with after watching many videos on YouTube and listening to plenty of podcasts. I would like to begin my real estate journey with wholesaling as the foundation of my real estate business and after mastering that process I would like to begin rehabbing properties and building a rental portfolio. 

I recently signed up for my first Real Estate Investor meeting, and I am extremely excited to attend since this will be my first time doing anything related to real estate. Since I am brand new and still in the learning process, I don't have a LLC set up, which means of course I don't have business cards or anything formal at this point. My goal for this first meeting is to soak up as much information I can from other investors, get a better feel for hot markets in my city, and hopefully begin to build a cash buyer list so I will have someone to market properties to when I find sellers. Since I don't have business cards or an LLC set up, what is the best way to network with other investors to show I'm serious about building my business and getting my feet wet in the real estate field? Should I wait until I have more of a business structure before I begin to network and build a cash buyer list?

I live in San Antonio, TX so anyone who lives here or has knowledge of this market your responses are encouraged!

@Jonatan Barbera thanks for responding to my post. I did attend the SAREIA meeting and it did seem more like sales rather than true education or networking. I will take the advice of getting some business cards printed so I can begin to market myself. I will keep you in mind for any future concerns or questions that I may have. Again thanks a bunch!
