Thanks for all the input everyone, I appreciate it!  I'll definitely look into those groups.

Hey BiggerPockets! My name is Jared and I've recently become very interested in Real Estate investing (primarily buy and hold duplex/multiplex). I've been working on getting my finances in order and think I could make some moves hopefully in the not-too-distant future. I see there are a few folks here from Rochester and was curious if there was ever a meetup with BP members? I see one just started over in Syracuse, but I don't think I'll be able to make it out there. I also see there's a 'Freedom First' REI club on meetups.com which I'll probably go check out, but curious if there were other options. I will definitely be looking for some direction if I find a good deal. Looking forward to learning a lot and stalking the forums!

Thanks,

Jared

Hello all,

This is my first post here on BP and I'm sure this is to be the first of many questions that I will hope to get answered.  As a way to get some knowledge and potentially be useful down the line, would it be a good ideal to get a real estate license?  I'm in Rochester, NY and I've come across classes such as:

http://www.careerwebschool.com/new-york/real-estat...

Which supposedly get you up and running for only about $300.  So that's a pretty low barrier to entry if the the knowledge gained in such a course is relevant.  Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Jared
