Networking: How and with Who?

[Brian Davis]

I have come to the point in my real estate investing career where I know in order for me to continue to grow, I really need to put a much greater emphasis on networking.   This site is great for that I know. But I was wondering if someone had tips on how to find the right people to talk to?  What people to approach for coffee? How to ask people to meet up without sounding like a weirdo? I feel like the more people I can meet with, the better, but do I want to meet with newbie guy everyday for lunch?  I feel like finding and talking with people that are currently involved with real estate and making a living doing so would be much better connection . But again, I do not know.  Any advice? How would I be able to do this in large numbers? I would like to just start meeting someone new everyday if possible in my market and see where that takes me. 

Thanks again for any advice.
