Newbie Investor meetups, Houston TX?

[Ivan Alvarez]

I live in south Houston and was wondering if there were any investor meetups in the area. I've been reading a lot of material, and watching a lot of real estate videos, but there's just nothing like personal interaction and networking.  I'm eager to invest in my first property, but still have so many reservations about pulling the trigger. I am self employed, so I'm looking at owner financing to execute my first deal, with hope of holding and renting it out.
