What do you YOU feel is the best way to network in your area?

[Nick Scullin]

While learning all I can about real estate through books, podcasts, and here on BP, I want to start making connections. So I wanted to ask the BP community here what your thoughts are on the best way to network? I finally have a vision of what and where I want to go in the future, so I am excited to start talking about my RE investing with everyone I can (without being too annoying haha). I know that having this vision allows me to create my own luck and opportunities and see them when they happen. I also want to try and start attending RE investor meetups, found through the BP website, but it is tough right now with Covid as you all know.

So enough about me, what has worked for you all? I know how critical networking is in this industry!

The best way to network locally is to start and run your own group. It's hard, but it gets you the biggest volume of connections and helps you lead with providing value to others. 

Networking on BP requires consistency, follow up, and taking the conversation offline. Respond to inbox messages, have Zoom calls/phone calls with others, etc.
