New to Bigger Pockets

[Theo Farver]

Hey All, I am new to the bigger pockets community and excited about learning about real estate investing.  I would like to invest in single family and duplex's/triplex's.  I live in the Denver area and would like to find a way to connect with people who are active in real estate investing.  Does anyone have recommendations for meet ups or groups that meet locally?

@Theo Farver You are off to a good start. Quite a few of the investors I've spoken to recently spent a good amount of time (half a year to a year), going to every single real estate meetup they could find, and Denver has a lot of real estate meetups. There is the John Fischer club, Bigger Pockets Bad *** investors, @Jennifer Ward's long-distance investing group, etc. I would advise though to make a plan and stick to a timeline. I advise doing this for two reasons: 1.) Denver (and Denver metro) is expensive and seemingly getting more expensive by the minute; and 2.) it can be easy for first-time investors to get stuck in analysis paralysis and put off actual investing. Better to have a plan and avoid that.
