New RE investor looking to network

[Oliver Gonzalez]

Hi, I am new real estate investor looking to get into flipping and wholesaling. I have currently been a real estate agent for 3 years and am now looking to do flips or wholesale. Where are some places I can go to stay up to date with meetups for local investors and private money lenders?

 Hi Oliver, welcome to BiggerPockets! To find meetups and private lenders as a real estate investor, it is important to explore options such as Real Estate Investment Associations (REIAs), online platforms like BiggerPockets and Meetup.com, social media groups (Facebook), local real estate investing seminars, and networking through the Chamber of Commerce or business groups. Networking, both online and offline, is key to connecting with fellow investors and discovering potential private lenders.

Hope this helps and best wishes to your real estate journey!
