Networking as a Newbie

[Benjamin Cohen]

Hi Everyone! My name is Benjamin Cohen and I'm new here on BP, so yeah, I'm a newbie...

I'm 22 years old and graduating from college in December; however, I've been obsessed with Multifamily, cash-flowing properties ever since I read Rich Dad Poor Dad back in April. Ever since then, I've read anything I can get my hands on, cold called brokers, and syndicators to get my name out there, and most importantly practiced analyzing 5-8 deals on a weekly basis. Obviously, no one takes me seriously because I have no track record, nor experience.

I'm currently finishing the Pre-licensing course to take the state exam to obtain my Real Estate Licenses while being enrolled in 22 credits (7 classes) and playing college soccer. I'm serious about scaling and finding financing to eventually close on my first deal (I've found a few cool deals in Myrtle Beach SC and Melbourne FL but I obviously don't qualify for any loan or mortgage because I don't have enough established credit). I would love the opportunity to network with investors, lenders, contractors, property managers, and agents to build relationships, future business, and surround myself with like-minded and more experienced individuals so I can learn as much as I can!

Any recommendations from where to go from here? So excited to hear back!

Thank you so much for your time!
