Hi Mr. John @John Mazzella! Thanks for reaching out, means a ton to me! I do plan on attending multiple REIA meet-ups in GA as well as in Charlotte to hopefully network and get my name out there! I'm very interested in larger multifamily properties! Definitely a goal of mine to partner with someone experienced ASAP!

Thank you so much for your advice!

Hi Mr. Mike @Mike Smith! Thank you so much or your words of advice! I definitely plan on attending a REIA in Marietta, GA in September. Found some very interposing larger Multi-Family investing opportunities near ATL and hopefully I could network and learn. It would most definitely be a goal of mine to partner with an experienced investor.

Thank you for your words and good luck to you as well!

Hi Guys! My name is Benjamin Cohen and I'm new here on BP! This is my 3rd forum post, still trying to figure out how this platform works.

I'm 22 years old and graduating from college in December; however, I've been obsessed with Multifamily, cash-flowing properties ever since I read Rich Dad Poor Dad back in April. Ever since then, I've read anything I can get my hands on, cold called brokers, and syndicators to get my name out there, and most importantly practiced analyzing 5-8 deals on a weekly basis. Obviously, no one takes me seriously because I have no track record, nor experience.

I'm currently finishing the Pre-licensing course to take the state exam to obtain my Real Estate Licenses while being enrolled in 22 credits (7 classes) and playing college soccer. I'm serious about scaling and finding financing to eventually close on my first deal (I obviously don't qualify for any form of financing due to not having any credit, track record, or experience). I would love the opportunity to network with investors, private lenders, contractors, property managers, and agents to build relationships, future business, and surround myself with like-minded and more experienced individuals so I can learn as much as I can!

Any recommendations from where to go from here? So excited to hear back!

Thank you so much for your time!

Awesome! That works perfectly for me! I would love to make my way down there and meet in person! Would it be okay to ask for an email or a phone number in order to reach out prior and get directions?

Hi Mr. Chris @Chris Rosenberg! Thanks for reaching out! I found a few multifamily deals on LoopNet in Myrtle beach. Are meet ups on weekends? If so I could make my way down from CLT. Hard for me to find time during the week since I'm still in school. Thanks again!

Hi Mr. Joe @Joe Funari! Thanks for Reaching out, means a ton! Just found out about a National REIA. The CLT location is called Metrolina REIA! Sounds like I'll be making my way to some training seminars and networking events! Super excited about this journey. To my understanding its approximately 200 bucks for a membership, as a broke college student, I'l find a way asap to pay for this.

Thank you so much for the advice, I'd love to connected!

Hi Everyone! My name is Benjamin Cohen and I'm new here on BP, so yeah, I'm a newbie...

I'm 22 years old and graduating from college in December; however, I've been obsessed with Multifamily, cash-flowing properties ever since I read Rich Dad Poor Dad back in April.

I'm serious about scaling and finding financing to eventually close on my first deal (I've found a few cool deals in Myrtle Beach SC and Melbourne FL but I obviously don't qualify for any loan or mortgage because I don't have enough established credit). I would love the opportunity to network with investors, lenders, contractors, property managers, and agents to build relationships, future business, and surround myself with like-minded and more experienced individuals so I can learn as much as I can!

Any recommendations from where to go from here? So excited to hear back!
