Given the high demand for industrial space, especially near major interstates, this could be a smart move.

Hey Rachelle, I'm a newbie investor and trying to learn as much as I can about the industry.

Quote from @Daniel Barnett: Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

There's a Bookstore, Resource Hub, Podcast, Events, etc.

Find a local REI, meetups and networking events.

Accept whoever applies" is an idea that would cost you a bucket of money in the long run.Bankruptcy is usually a "no" unless it appears to be a one-time event caused by something out of their control such as a massive medical bill or a business failure. 

I think if you been in the real estate industry anytime longer than a year you slowly see how many irrational people are within the industry.

I even have a friend who received an unfounded complaint from a neighbor (the neighbor was just against STRs, no events/parties that occurred), and now their property is temporarily banned/under review, regardless of them abiding by all rules.

Only thing I got out of those events were I didn't understand how to get to the next level (no fault of the events, I take responsibility of my on inability to make the connections in the content).  

If you hover over the forums, click on the events and meetups tab and search for a meetup in your local area.
