New to Real estate looking -- Looking for groups to connect with
Hi
I'm a new investor and resident of DFW. I currently work in finance and would like to jump into rental property investing. I am unsure where to find groups of real estate investors to connect with. I have been using meetup.com, but it seems like most groups on there are trying to sell me something.
Is there a real estate focused meetup like website? I am very eager to find people to connect with!
Thanks!

@Austin Bright here's the list of groups locally that I would recommend visiting:
Real Estate Groups
Several of these will have similar names but they are different. And these are the groups that I feel comfortable recommending. Several groups in DFW will try very hard to sell you things if you attend. Some are like $20,000. These are not that.
DFW REI Club – – meet about 50 times per year. Lots of different topics and a very friendly group.
DFW Mid Cities REIA - - meets each month and is completely free. Usually free food and free drinks.
DFW REI Network Investing Meetup - - Started in Bigger Pockets this group meets once per month. Just straight information and super friendly atmosphere.
AREA Real Estate Investing Group – https://www.meetup.com/realestate-445/ - Meets once per month and is usually well attended
