Investor Groups - Real Estate Professionals

[Kyle Pascual]

Hello! I'm a First Time Poster, but long time reader on these forums. 

I was curious if anyone has recommendations for investor groups or networking clubs that can help me invest out-of-state. I'm currently a grad student, but am looking to invest in multifamily properties outside of CA with my current savings ($25k to 50k, depending on how stocks are going). I don't think that is enough to invest in CA, but hopefully can find people in other markets that can help me. 

If this is the wrong approach please let me know what you think is the right one. 

Thanks!
