BiggerPockets Conference for a Beginner

[Michael Fitts]

Hey BP community. I'm currently closing on my first property in August (an owner occupied duplex). I heard on the podcast that this is going to be a BP conference in October where 1,000 individuals interested in REI will be attending. Since I don't have any experience yet, I was wondering if it's worth going to the conference now, or after I get my feet wet and know a little more. I want to grow a rental portfolio and learn different strategies for financing properties and pulling in partners/investors to fund deals. That way I'd go with the intention of learning how to best grow a portfolio. So question is, should I go this year or to a future one?
