New investor (Atlanta)

[LaRhonda M]

Hey Everyone,

I'm LaRhonda looking to begin my Real Estate investing journey here in Atlanta by years end! Currently, taking this venture alone. With not too many family, friends, mentors, or colleagues that are interested in real estate investing. Something I've been heavily interested in for ever, and finally in a position to jump in!

Any recommendations of local real estate investing groups to join in the area? Potential investors in the area to connect with, learn from?

Recommended Real Estate agents (Familiar with working with investors)?

General Advice?

I'm huge on gaining and obtaining knowledge, but I know the best teacher is experience!! Looking forward to the journey and has set a personal goal to purchase my first investment property by year end! I'm excited!

@LaRhonda M Go to a few GA REIA meetings as mentioned, in my opinion the sub groups are more valuable than the main meeting. Also come to the Atlanta REI Meetup that happens once a month, it is held the last Wednesday of every month at the Ivy in Buckhead. It is an even better value than the REIA's in my opinion as it is completely free. They have over 1000 members on the facebook page and typically have 100+ members show up in person. Always great speakers and incredible networking opportunities. Here is the link for this months meetup https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/725248-july-2019-atlanta-rei-meetup
