Connecting with a mentor or support network can be done through local real estate meetups, forums, or virtual mentorship programs.

I've temporarily moved to a referral network only, and am very happy to answer questions and connect investors with real estate agents, property managers, and other service providers in NW Florida. 

I have a strong network here and know the key players/stakeholders in the community and am trying to learn how I can get involved to make an impact to change the community and restore the existing (beautiful) infrastructure. 

It is a great opportunity to meet and network with people managing the fund and investing in notes!

Networking Tips: How can I leverage industry events, meetups, and online communities to build relationships with potential investors?

You are defiantly in the right place for the sake of networking.

Not sure yet what strategy makes the most sense for me, but I'm here to continue to learn, grow, and network.

Best of luck building your network!

From there, network and do your research about the area, have all of your "ducks in a row" to then action on a property if you see it come on the market and the numbers make sense.

Using one to go under contract is fine but using (networking) one to find a foreclosure?
