I can send you his contact info, I also met an RE lawyer in Downtown Denver last week, I can send his info as well. 

I used to attend all their webinars to learn about it and then opened my account once I changed employers, moved half my 401k and have purchased income producing real estate,  invested in a business, bought some land, and also now holding notes.  

There is no wrong way to do this unless you aren't doing it at all OR you're harrassing peopleIf you find yourself attending a bunch of educational webinars, watching too many tutorial/training videos, or anything other than those 2 things, take some time to stop and reflect. 

A great way to network and meet people in your local community is to attend in person meet ups.

I attended its summer sale yesterday and I bought two properties.

Do this by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

I am looking to attend some of the local meetups and hopefully make some good connections.

I have started attending GRID Clifton, and Reston (occasionally).
