Hi Maxwell Eras and welcome to BP. I would highly suggest joining some meet ups on meetup.com. That has been the most helpful for me!

Michael Hacker I'll make sure I sign up and attend! Thanks for the heads up, look forward to meeting more people

Cory Baker wow thank you for all the background info because it really shows what you have to do in this industry. I feel like I'm at a similar spot as you. What books do you recommend I start reading to get going?

Bevla Reeves thanks for the group info! I'm trying to go to as many groups as I can to see where I fit in the investing world. Maybe I'll see you there!

Thanks Robert Lorenz I appreciate the feedback. I feel the same about Matrix. I'm excited to see what else is out there

Hello BiggerPockets Community,

I'm a real estate agent in Arizona and have decided to start looking more into real estate investing. I would like to invest in real estate myself down the line and I would also like to build relationships with more investors. I thought I would start by joining a few investor groups first, and want to know what you guys think. 

I went to Matrix in Phoenix, I am going to Phoenix Wholesale and Flipping Group from Meetup.com, and Millenial Real Estate Investors - AZREIA Subgroup from Meetup.com.

Has anyone had any experience with the following groups or know somewhere else I should go to get started?
