Networking Events in the Bay Area?

[Mohammed Nasser]

Hello BP Family,

I am extremely new in the field of RE investing and one of the recurring pieces of advice I get on my posts/from the BP podcast is that people just starting out should go to local REI networking events and meet other investors with similar interests that they can learn a lot from. I am in the San Jose/Bay Area and so I have been checking the "Real Estate Events and Happenings" tab on the BP forum and it seems like there is no activity happening there. I wanted to ask that ,other than through the BP forums, what are some ways you hear about REI events in your area and are there any recommendations you would have for someone when they go to their first networking event knowing that they are a complete newbie?

Thank you!
