Hey all, as the title states I'm brand new to the real estate game and I'm looking to find people in the area who are willing to loosely guide/teach me how to wholesale/flip properties.Are there any networking events in the area I'd be able to connect with?

Welcome to the real estate investment game!

They are on a big push to get back in the game though, have you seen their recent ads stressing that they only list private homes?

Whether you’re a mortgage broker, real estate broker, or running a private lending shop, what software and processes have been game-changers for you?

I added arcade games, board games and accept pets as well.

Have flexible repayment terms been a game changer for your deals, and if so, how have you leveraged that flexibility to scale your investments?

I have invested in real estate casually in the last several years, and am looking to step up my game by learning from those willing to help, and succeeding with real estate. 

I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.

Then connect with some hard money lenders (you can find some here on BP as well as some who are typing this right now) and connect with them to understand their product type, what they like to lend on and requirements.Hard money broker is all numbers game of making relationships and helping those that are looking for financing, it starts out slow but if you get with a few good borrowers and lenders it can be pretty decent money to be made.As an example we paid six figures last year to HM brokers. 

Is there any place on this website that that focuses on investors that got in the game late.
