I would recommend leveraging the BP forums to connect with existing syndicators.

Meetups are great, do your diligence on gurus as much as your would anything else in real estate, but you have to remember some of these gurus are worth a lot of money and have the knowledge, training, coaching, and most importantly network and influence to help accelerate your business. so are they expensive .. yes.. could they be worth.. yes, depends on you.. your ability, and progress. but if you dont have money, then i suggest learning everything you can for free, go to local meetups and reias that dont pitch and connect with as many experienced investors as you can, you may connect with me as well, my contact info is on my page.

I am willing to pay to leverage their connections, especially considering I am looking for my first out-of-state deal.

Happy to connect if you have all essential details.

They also handle legal matters, like making sure the property follows the rules or dealing with evictions if necessary.For finding deals, I recommend starting by connecting with investor-friendly agents in your target market.

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

I'm a software engineer on a sabbatical trying to find my path out of the corporate world.Looking forward to connecting!

Here is my account LOL, I don't know why it logged me in the other way without my account connected.

I will send you a connection and we should get a call set up to discuss.

It's like a goldmine of valuable connections and insider info that's just waiting to be tapped.
