Newbie in Florida needing some advice on networking

[Dillon Kreider]

 I've been an entrepreneur since I was 16 and have owned a couple businesses , done just about every type of sales & marketing and understand that like most industries , tapping into this one is about building relationships and having a mentor , associates and friends. I currently launched a corporation which I founded with different intentions, but being a international multi-level marketing company which taught people how to trade the forex and binary option markets we unfortunately never got if off the ground as intended and at this point of my life I'm getting better on knowing when to "Hold em and when to fold em" so to speak.. My plans now are to build a board of directors / team which give value and resourceful for our new objectives in commercial prop/business acquisition. 

      Taking a new direction in an area which I have limited experience I'd like to know if there are some type of jobs I could work for active investors where I could get my foot in the door , like scouting props , or any other positions which could help me build relationships. 

       I have a 16 unit apt deal in the works which the lender has agreed upon, on the basis I furnish either a bank guarantee or a surety bond . I think utilizing surety bonds may be an innovative strategy but one that seems not too common and being a rookie makes me skeptical of this lender as it just seems the process was easier than I anticipated. 

     However , any tips or suggestions from you pro's would be greatly appreciated. I currently live in Central Florida, about 45 minutes north of Tampa 

 Thank You
