I have $10,500 to my name and want to invest it and put my money to work; however, I don't mind spending a few dollars on a reliable course or towards my financial education.

I wanted to introduce myself as I am incredibly anxious to step foot into the incredible world of REI and would love to know if there are any local investors that meet/would like to meet on a semi-regular basis.I currently have a full time job in outside sales in the Arvada area so I do a lot of driving around which enables me to spend a lot of my time listening to podcasts and educating myself but I would love to get to know some players within my local area to really dive deep into the subject and in which I could potentially be of value in the future.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I remember the tale about the neophyte stock market player who went to his mentor and said "I just bought a block [100 shares] of IBM."

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Some resources I've been using to educate myself so far are:-The Bigger Pockets podcast: I am on episode 11 of it on Spotify, it has been a great resource so far, touching upon many key parts of real estate investment. 

I am able to make an educated guess based on the original offer from owner to myself before the wholesaler scooped it up and the price agreed upon myself and wholesaler.

I'm excited to learn more, gain the education, and utilize the tools I need to succeed.

I highly recommend that you look into joining NARPM.org for up to date and local education.
