How do I associate myself with more successful people?

[Peter Haymond]

I'm a college senior about to head into the real estate investing world full time. (ie. I'm helping to expand my parents business)

What has worked best for you in REI networking and do you think it's paid off? Do you have any advice for me?

I know you can go to REI Clubs, associations, and REI seminars but I'd rather be hanging out with these successful people daily, then just a bunch of college students that are looking for j.o.b.'s. I already attend a local REI club and I'm hanging out with an investor tomorrow who's close to my age. I really take it seriously that your income is based on your closest friends, what do you think?

Thanks for your time and help!

Take care,

Peter
