Ready To Get Started
Hello,
So I'm a newbie in the real estate world but have basic knowledge. I have studied and listened to several books, blogs, and videos over the course of 2 months and I'm ready to get my feet wet and get some hands-on experience. I also understand in this business networking is key and would like to connect to any locals. I currently live in the Ghent area of Norfolk, so primarily the Hampton Roads Area would be ideal for me to start (NFK, VB, CHSPK, etc.) I also would be willing to travel to wholesale/invest/be mentee as far as Richmond, VA. Im trying to find my real estate tribe now that I have some capital. If anyone can please point me in the right direction that would be great.

Hey and welcome! MeetUp is a great way to network in the Norfolk area for low cost, or if you do not mind paying an fee, the Tidewater Real Estate Investors Group is a great way to go. There are many people who are more than willing to lend some of their time and have a constructive conversation with you because that is how many people get started. Also, let people you know what you are up to and what your intentions are. The more people you can connect with the better! Please feel free to message me with anything you need and I'll try steer you the right way.
