Hi Chris,Start by networking through BiggerPockets, local real estate meetups, LinkedIn, and self-storage investor groups.

BPCON2025 sounds like an incredible opportunity for real estate investors to network, learn, and grow.

I am looking into residential construction companies and want to get an idea of the markets direction in the areas mentioned and start networking with investors in the area. 

Wholesaling is a great way to get started, and networking is key to success.

💪 Start by networking with local investors and wholesalers to find deals, build relationships with contractors and lenders, and analyze numbers relentlessly so you don’t overpay.Stay focused, take action, and don’t be afraid to learn as you go! 

I’d strongly recommend networking.

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

I’m also networking with investors, lenders, and other professionals who align with my mission of creating opportunities for future investors and helping others gain education in real estate.If you have experience with:✅ Finding off-market deals✅ Creative financing strategies✅ Scaling from single-family to multifamily✅ Investing in South Carolina real estateI’d love to connect, learn, and potentially collaborate.Let’s build together!

Other than that, you will need to network with a lot of people to find seller finance deals.

This deal was referred to me by a good friend, which means having a great network of like minded people is extremely important.
