What's the biggest obstacle for finding real estate friends?

[Kyle Pascual]

Hello everyone - I'm relatively new to BP and posting. I'm starting my personal real estate journey, but want to find more people that are willing to just talk about real estate or bounce ideas off of. I feel there is a need in personal real estate for conversation without constantly being sold on something. And I can't really talk shop with my inner group of friends (other than the macroeconomics of CRE).

Are there outlets for these types of conversations? 

Thanks!
