Building Business Relationships during hard times
I wanted to get started with real estate investing and I know that networking is extremely important. I signed up to have a meeting from the bigger pockets site but will no longer participate during this crisis (They probably cancelled event anyways).
Im planning on investing in the NJ/NY area. What are other ways to develop business relationships during this time?

I second @Vaughn Smith that virtual meetings are a great way to network during this time. Many people are working remotely these days and social interaction is appreciated both for professional growth and to help break up isolation.
