Yeah, there are a couple of active Meetup groups.
Connect with the New Mexico Apartment Association. They are a great advocacy group. 

@Audrey Blotz welcome to the exciting world of RE investing.
There are some great Meetups in town that you can attend.

Get around other investors is the best way to make progress!

hi @Emily Davis

I live in Santa Fe, NM, and while it's a great market for STR, the cost of entry is going to be the biggest challenge.

The median home price is over $500K. The city also has a lot of restrictions on STR rentals.
I would recommend looking in other areas.

Hi all!

I'm a process engineer in Abq and own a single family home rental in North Valley. I'm just starting my real estate journey and would love to connect if folks are still active in this thread. I have lots of questions and am interested in hearing people's experiences in Abq's housing market. 

Hi Rich

Welcome to BP. 
I just sent you a message to connect.

@Matthew I. The market has changed quite a bit in the last 4 years. There are still opportunities in Abq, but you need to think about entering a market with a tight supply of houses. Finding deals that cashflow is more challenging. Running an STR remotely is also challenging for sure.

@Andrew Tistadt welcome to BP.

I have been investing in Abq since 2016. It's a great market, where you can still find opportunities. I'm happy to jump on a call if you want to learn more.

If you really want to get connected to the community, then I recommend attending Meetups.
There are several great meetups that will help you get going.

Search on Meetup.com for something that meets your needs.

 Thank you for reaching out. I am currently located in Farmington, NM. There doesn't seem to be a large investor community where I'm located. I just need to look in the right places. I'm open to any other suggestions you may have.


 My friend runs a meetup in Durango. Look it up on Meetup.com
