Networking? What do I do now?

[Leslie L Meneus]

I would like to connect with like minded individuals. People who want to do multi-family deals of all sizes but I have yet to meet anyone who have similar ambitions all-be-it this is my first post as such. Any advice? Anyone want to connect?

@Leslie L Meneus, while the forums can be pretty good, in-person networking and sharing ideas is much more valuable.  If you are in Miami or surrounding area, there are likely tons of networking events.  

Go to Meetup.com and type "real estate" or "Apartment Investing" or other search terms for your area.  

Find the REIA group for your area

As Henry noted, post something specific for your area and tag your market.

Get on Loopnet for your area and property type, reach out to the brokers that are listing deals and offer to take to coffee (they are often invested in deals too but you could ask for connections to other operators that might be getting started).

And, again as Henry noted, each person you meet, ask them what other networking events they have attended that you can put on your list.
