How do I find people in my area?

[Skyler Mckinney]

So, I'm to the point where I have outgrown the people I surround myself with. They are not stupid nor am I any smarter than them, but our interests have dissolved. I want to be surrounded by more intelligent more active people who are running businesses, doing real estate, successful, and think like me. I am struggling to meet people like this other than in Bigger pockets. How do I reach the top performers in my area? I've gone to real estate meetups, and most of them in the area are full of wannabe wholesalers who aren't commited but like the idea. I want to be around people who think like me, know that anything is possible, and to have goals as big as mine and are taking steps towards them. Any advice on how I can meet these people in my area? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

@Skyler Mckinney go to some of the local investing clubs ans ask the people who run it, "who are some of the more successful investors you know?"  Go to public on site auctions. Buyers there tend to be serious, as it takes cash to buy at auctions.  

Search Meetup.com In my area there are a ton of small meetup groups. Some of these may not be real estate related but finance or business related. Those should be like minded people.
