I’m fond of the local meeting spot (McDonalds coffee, Longhorn, etc) but can’t find one that is good nearby for me.

Of course I am the Speaker, so perhaps I'm a bit biased.Also, I do recommend the Roundtable Discussions, too.And if you'd like to stop by and introduce yourself, we will have a booth, as well - though it is not in the Expo Hall (Wednesday 04:30 PM - 07:30 PM & Thursday 01:00 PM - 05:00 PM), but rather in the "Overflow Room" which is right next to the Registration Desk AND open & available the entire Event, not the specific hours listed above.Wish you the best of luck to learn & meet anything & everything about Self Storage. 

As I transition to Georgia in a few months I will be looking to attend the local REIA meetings and invest in real estate.Thank you

I would suggest that you establish relationships with some wholesalers or any other provider that has rental property that meets your profile, and spend some time communicating with them and building a relationship.

Have your ask  your lender to run rapid score to see how you can get 23 points to meet the requirement? 

@George Yeghiazaryan welcome to BP and thanks for sharing your story, sounds like we have some similarities :)Come out to one of the meetups in Sacramento, or we can just meet for coffee, I always enjoy meeting local BPers 

There are some really good meet ups you can attend and some great experienced investors that would be more than happy to meet with you and discuss.

My current work schedule makes attending local meet ups difficult but I would like to use vacation time to attend at least 2 meetups by the end of the semester.

@Matt WoodburyWhat matters is if the property has positive cash flow and a positive cash on cash ROI that meets your investing goals.Having a little extra equity at closing is great, but it isn't a real decision maker if the property has negative cash flow.

I don't meet the net worth requirement or liquidity.
