Hello all, hope you were able to visit the link that Nick posted. After  Speaking with @Brandon Turner we are not going to use the  Bigger Pockets Name for our meet up. Nick has agreed to sponsor the events and  we will use his company name . He has set up a Meet-Up through Meet-Up.com and we will continue  to use BP to get the word out as well.

Thanks for being so patient as we got organized.

Please RSVP via the following link October  14th Meet Up 6:15pm

We look forward to networking and actually doing  business/learning from one another. We hope to carry on the same open and  free communication that we find on BP at our meet-ups. We want to share and grow  and help each other grow.

That's awesome. I like the workshop idea, something to think about!

And we would love yo have you join! Our next meet up is scheduled for October 14th.

Thanks so much! This is a actually a great idea, how large is your meeting?

It might sound funny but I use BP as one way, I either post something in the marketplace or I connect with those who may be a god fit to do business with. If I can add value to their business and receive funds for my projects in exchange its a win-win. In 4 months I have connected with 2 solid provide money people through BP. And some others are potentials.

Another way I go about it is networking at local events or REIAs. I also pretty much tell every single person I meet what I do and believe it or not I have gotten phone calls from them asking how they can get involved...and I go in for the kill :) It's all about letting Real Estate ooze from your pours. Don't think of it as a specific task because it becomes daunting and seems harder than it is. If you hang around money you will eventually gain access to that same money.

Welcome Dwain! BP is the perfect place to meet people who are excited about the same things as yourself. Take a look around and get to know the site, your "few deals" will turn into "tons of deals" in no time. What are your goals moving forward? Have you decided on a niche or are you interedted in more than one? Feel free to reach out anytime.

Best of Luck!

There are tons of ways, just have to get creative, Read a few books and read through the site. As well as doing what you are doing now...simply ask.

Send them my way :) [email protected]

Cody, you are on the right track. Saving while educating yourself is pretty much the best way to do this. Now, it is important that you don't get stuck in the trap of learning with no action. At some point you have to take a dive! I can't really give you a dollar amount you should save before investing I would say pay more attention to yourself then you money when it comes to this. Some will say 1K is enough while other will tell you 20K or 100K is good to start with. Renting to college kids can be a super lucrative niche and yes there will be problems that arise but remember there are ups and downs to any aspect of investing.

Find a niche/strategy you like and start there. Hope this help.

I wish you the very best of luck and commend you on your decision to start your journey. With a degree, great income and the desire to grow wealth through investing you are sure to create an excellent foundation on which you will live a highly successful life!
