Orlando Real Estate Investing Meetups or Investors???
Good afternoon everyone, I am 21 years old and interested in starting my real estate investing journey. I currently go to UCF in Orlando FL majoring in Real Estate. I am currently interning this summer with a big home builder you may have heard of (PulteGroup) where i am working directly with construction managers. I also may or may not work intern at a commercial brokerage this upcoming semester with Cushman & Wakefield. I really want to meet other people my age who are interested in real estate investing or people in general who can help! I am open to learning. Right now I’ve just been watching BP videos and just bought a real estate investing book on amazon. I only have about 2 grand in savings, 10 grand in stocks/roth Ira/401k, and credit score of 760. I would consider myself knowledgeable about money.

Hi @Kenneth Lewis, welcome an congrats on getting started.
I serve on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the national REIA. I'd love you to come out and see what we're all about. You will have great opportunities to get some education & network with other local investors. We are celebrating 35 years and have meetings all over Orlando throughout the month. I can get you a free guest pass, just DM me.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out.
Best of luck to you.
