I attended my first investor meet up and it was unexpectedly enlightening

[Nathan Brown]

I've spent the majority of my real estate career in sales helping investors find suitable properties, then as a manager helping them grow their wealth. Recently, I finally took the plunge for myself and decided after upgrading to a bigger house, to keep the 1st one and rent it. What a revelation! Now I want another or ten. I attended a meet up last night and met a handful of like-minded newbies plus a few seasoned investors and lenders. I was straight up in my introduction that I was there to learn from the best, and if I got any property management leads in the meantime, that's cool too. Everyone was so helpful and willing to engage. No competition, no reservations about sharing tips, just good conversations all around. The more I learn about this business, the more humbled I am at how much I don't know. I recommend going to meetups for anyone thinking about attending one!
