Attempting to get my First Deal
Hi everyone! I’m Trent Danelski. I’m attempting to get my first deal done. I’m located in the Fort Worth Area. I’ve been looking and studying for about 8 months but felt lost, overwhelmed, and confused. But looking the right areas I found a very good mentor! Yay!! We have had 2 meetings And I’ve gained so much knowledge. I’m still not 100% confident but much more then when I was just studying by myself. I feel like this is going to be a wonderful relationship. With my motivation and drive I know I’ll get deals, while also adding value to my mentor along our Journey! But if you or someone you know are in the DFW area and would like to connect! That would be amazing I would love to be able to build a little network. So that not only I can gain knowledge along the way but friends in the same industry. I hope everyone has a great day and keeps pushing towards their dreams!!!

@Trent Danelski Here is a small list of the events I try to attend in Tarrant County.
IMPACT Grapevine - https://www.meetup.com/DFW-REI-Network-Investing-Meetup/ - Started in Bigger Pockets this group meets on the 3rd Monday of each month. Just straight information and super friendly atmosphere. Great speakers that won’t try and sell you on a program. Meets at the Dave and Busters in Euless. Free dinner provided.
IMPACT HEB - https://www.meetup.com/realestate-427/ - This is a newer group and has a power couple who lead it. They invest all over DFW and offer mentoring on top of the monthly informational meetings.
West DFWREI - https://www.meetup.com/West-DFW-REI-Group/ - This is a smaller group but provides tons of information. The leader is a pro at sub-to deals and is very giving of his time to help out new investors who are serious. The group meets 1st Saturday of each month in the Southwest Fort Worth area. There is also 1 or 2 other meetings throughout the month.
1RE Club - https://www.meetup.com/1REClub/ - This group is led by a former Rich Dad coach who has been investing in DFW since the 1980’s. Super knowledgeable and takes integrity and his Christian faith into all the deals he does. He also offers coaching where you joint venture on deals. This meeting is the 2nd Thursday of each month at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens meeting rooms.
Texas Tuesdays Mastermind - https://www.facebook.com/events/the-sogio-building/texas-tuesday-fort-worth-real-estate-mastermind/1830836547025917/ - meets 1st Tuesday of each month and is completely free. Has info from a variety of professionals with no sales pitch other than the opportunity to go to a full day workshop with the same speaker. The full day work shops have a charge but 100% of the fee for the workshop goes to support a kids cancer fund. Free food and free adult beverages. 50+ in attendance. Meet in North Fort Worth.
Texas Investors Club - https://texasinvestorsclub.com/ - meets the 3nd Tuesday of each month and is completely free. This group is big. Like 80+ in monthly attendance. There is free food but show up early if you want to get some. There is a cash bar but you get one drink ticket if you pre-register. The event is completely free.
AREA Real Estate Investing Group – https://www.meetup.com/realestate-445/ - Smaller group that meets once a month. Free to attend.
