Lenders, title companies, agents, wholesalers.

Building relationships with lenders will get you better terms in the short-term and long-term, especially if you're active and doing multiple deals a year. 

Title companies will give you investor discounts if you ask, and they can also give you leads.

Agents are always looking for deals. Make sure to find an investor-friendly agent who knows what to look for in properties. Investment properties are very different than retail purchases. 

Wholesalers will give you a steady flow of deals to look at and can refer you to other investors!

Welcome to BP! @Marcela Hoag nailed it for the most part. I would just add that it depends slightly on what type of investing you are doing. If you plan to BRRRR then you will also want to network with contractors. Or if you are thinking of wholesaling you will want to network with other investors so that you have buyers for your deals. You will also want to connect with a good insurance broker.

Start going to local meetups and ask people that you meet who else you should be looking to connect with as a new investor.
