How To Find Investors In Your Area

[Jack Bevill]

Hi, 

I am 20 years old and wanting to get started investing or wholesaling real estate. I have read many contradicting forums and articles about where I should start, but both come back to getting educated. This is my first post on BiggerPockets and I was wondering where to find local investors that I could potentially take to lunch/dinner in exchange for a hour or so of their time to talk about real estate investing. Would love to hear what everyone has to say! I am also located in the Cookeville, Tennessee, area.

There's usually local REIA groups that have meetings, or meals, etc. Also check to see if there's any local facebook groups of RE Investors in your area. Another way is going to property auctions. Just always be networking and letting people know what you do and your network will grow. Good Luck!!
