Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

Interested in networking and learning more about multifamily investing.  

looking forward to networking and connecting with you all  Hey John!

while still trying to keep up with the competition Do you rely more on direct-to-seller marketing, networking with agents, leveraging platforms like PropStream and Batch Leads, or just by looking at a lot of deals?

Quote from @Salvador Auciello: @Todd Fry give me I ring I have a large network of commercial lenders and investors that finance mobile homes. 

Village to Village Network (https://www.vtvnetwork.org/) and Men’s Sheds Association (https://usmenssheds.org/) are successful models of people building community to improve the aging experience.So drawing on Dr Thomas and Nancy’s work and incorporating cohousing and pocket neighborhood elements into my communities, I have chosen to use shipping container homes in areas along the Texas coast where storms frequently cause wind and water damage.

Quote from @April Smalls: Due to Holidays, there arent many events or networking opportunites. have you posted in the classifieds the deal you are looking to fund?

I’m Arizona licensed and while I’m not an attorney or CPA, I’ve got a pretty wide network of investor-savvy agents and property mangrs who I trust.. folks who actually roll up their sleeves and dive into the trenches.The right guidance can help you identify stable neighborhoods in Austin where job growth still hums along nicely, or link you up to off-market multifamily properties in San Antonio that don’t get splashed across public listings.

Team/ Networking -  I'll need all the help I can get with this property. 

This will depend on your risk tolerance and your goals but you should consider starting with a single-family home to gain experience as a landlord and build your network.
