How to get better at networking as a young introvert?

[Kameron Holloway]

I've went to one local meetup so far. It was intimidating because I was the youngest there and everybody seemed to be good at talking except me. What are some questions I can ask at a networking event as a young inexperienced investor? I know what I want to achieve in the next few months (buy & hold rentals out-of-state) but I'm unsure of the steps to do so. I'm nervous, don't really know what questions to ask and seem valuable to agents/investors/PMs etc. What are some questions I can ask and some ways I can be valuable to one another?

I don't have specific questions but maybe a few suggestions that would help. Before talking with someone have a plan and if it helps write it down. I have found that even as an extrovert I make better conversations if I "simulate" what I will be doing before I do it. When I write it down it makes me less afraid of forgetting and therefore better at remembering. Always start with the person your gut tells you to talk to. You will be more comfortable and natural. Finally get a beverage in your left hand so you avoid moving your arms (I am very good at looking like a windmill machine lol) and now you can shake people's hand with your right arm.

Good luck and happy networking!
