Hey everybody!

My name is Danny and I just started getting into the investment industry here in the Akron/Canton area. I got my real estate license last year, but am still trying to find a way to tie it into investing. I have an online marketing and web development business, and I've been in that industry for 7 years. I've started wholesaling and love it, but my goal is to grow into buy and hold, and buy and flip. 

I would love to connect & network with others and continue learning about this awesome industry. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

@Daniel Thomas how long have you been wholesaling? Would love to hear more about your successes/failures in that as Wholesaling is my industry as well and as they say "to each one, teach one" who knows what we could learn from one another!

Also, what kind of online marketing/web developement do you do? Is there a link you can send me. I'm currently looking to partner with someone who can sort of show me the ropes of that niche and how to apply it to wholesaling.

Feel me free to contact me

Diedrick Z.

@Daniel Thomas

BP is a great place to learn and network. I highly recommend the Ultimate Beginner's Guide in the Education tab up above. I also highly recommend the podcasts. Between those to resources and the forums, you can learn a ton. There are many different strategies even among investors who are focused on buy-and-hold.

Beyond education, you will need to get out from behind the computer. REIA's are another great way to learn and network locally. I attended one in Akron last night and it was awesome to meet investors, Realtors and contractors with experience in the community.
