REIA Meeting for a Newbie

[Steven Beckham]

The idea of going to an REIA meeting is a little intimidating for a guy who has never done anything in real estate except purchased my own home. Everyone says that this is the best place to meet people and network, but I don't have experiences to share, so I think I would feel awkward approaching an investor without a story or lots of money. How do I make the most out of an REIA meeting when I'm not able to offer money or experience?
