To boost bookings, connect with local realtors, engage real estate investors, partner with relocation experts and insurers, offer business rates, target healthcare travelers via Furnished Finder, collaborate with property managers, amp up online advertising, improve your listing, attend networking events, and follow up with potential clients.

If you're interested in attending a local REIA meeting there is a great one in Matthews, NC I attend weekly and would recommend.

They will also have to take time out of their schedule to attend mediation hearings, etc.  

I've met Dean several times, attended his Note Summits, bought notes from him and was coaching for him in his online program back in 2010 and 2011.

Does anyone have a list of local meetups or recommend one they have attended? 

Hello Jonathan,Unfortunately I have not been able to find any real estate investor meetups in the town I live, but I do plan on attending them once we move to Texas.

Join real estate groups, attend workshops, and engage with online communities to learn from others’ experiences.

They said I was the first investor that had ever attended one.

Attending auctions, negotiating directly with banks, and exploring short sales are all viable strategies depending on your investment goals and risk tolerance.

Community banks, and any lenders in the market would also hear references for you.I would also, when attending meetups, speak to other investors.
