Looking for REI or Networking opportunities

[Richelle Hatch]

I am new to real estate investing and I am looking to network with others that are in real estate. 

I live close to Seattle Washington and I am new to the area. I would love to find a REI group or some kind of networking group that I can be a part of to learn from and hopefully share my limited knowledge with also.

I want to learn more about flipping and buy and hold w/multi-family units.
