Networking during Lock-down
Hello BP community,
I am brand new to the real estate world and am extremely excited to get in and get my feet wet. From all the reading I've done on BP as well as books and other blogs, it seems like the best way to start investing is by building yourself a strong network of lenders, realtors, investors, etc. Unfortunately, we are in the midst of a national lock-down and networking events have been placed on hold. I want to be poised to make a move when this inevitable economic dip happens, so I need to build my team now.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas of the best way to build a network and brand for myself, without actually meeting with people? Would love to see what you guys think! Thanks!
