Meet-ups and networking are great places to start. 

For investors, it offers unique opportunities to maximize the value of properties and meet the growing demand for housing.

I set up a meeting with high hopes that this would be a good way to purchase my first few properties of section 8.

Often people meet at the beginning of the year and report on achievements to date.

I would be open to meet ups/zoom 

Great to meet you and thanks!

There are a lot of real estate investor meetups in Northern New Jersey where you can meet other investors getting started like yourself.

For example:Second, under their "About us" link, click on "Management" and you'll see a "Meet the Team" page where there's the following photo/info for this James LaPushner fellow you mentioned (which says he was born in New Zealand):However, if you do a reverse Google image search on this photo, you'll find that it's posted on several other sites, including this one: https://planetaseminarov.ru/people/konstantin-baksht.htmlHere's a photo of him from this page:This page is written in Russian, but if you translate it, it says his name is Konstantin Baksht, he lives in Moscow Russia, and he is the owner and CEO of the international consulting company Baksht Consulting Group. 

We’ve just finished our 2025 planning meetings for our six largest projects, and it’s been an interesting process. 

If you pay more, you won't meet your metrics and will probably have negative cashflow and/or equity.You may have to make 10, 20 or even 100 offers to get one accepted at the price that meets your numbers.This is what all investors did BEFORE the Great Real Estate Crash of 2008-2010.
