Early days in real estate Career

[Michael Burnett]

Hey everyone, I'm a new real estate investor with one Airbnb property in my portfolio. I am moving to the bay area and am curious how others navigated the early days of their career? How were you meeting others in the industry and creating connections? I'm planning to work for a developer or value add investor to help sharpen my skills over the next 5 years before moving to commercial investing. 

Would love to hear feedback on your experience in the early days and getting connected when you didn't have much to offer.
