I can see myself being available. if it was direct access to me that'd be tough because I am a structural engineer that is regularly on conference calls.Ryan- I'd love to connect further.

@Dalton Lane @Drew Fein, if you're interested in networking and learning at a national forum in Denver, be sure to check out the Best Real Estate Investing Advice Ever Conference here and here next month with @Joe Fairless.

I'm actually speaking on a panel on this topic (intl investors investing in the U.S. market) at the upcoming Best Ever Real Estate Advice Conference in Denver Feb 24-25th if interested (see below).  

Is anyone attending Grant Cardone's 2017 10X Growth Conference in Miami?

I am interested in this too and would love specific books, conference/boot camp guidance so I'm not told to "practice messing up" on a smaller deal?

Little did I know the skills I learned in finance, business, sales, customer service and leadership would be the foundation of my future.

Early on, I couldn't afford the expensive tickets to the large mortgage banking and servicing conferences.  

The classroom and conference programs are chock full of great ideas and calls to action but usually result in notes and computer files that you find years later with the "to dos" still undone.I advise everyone to start by finding ONE great contact in the RE arena and leverage that person's knowledge, experience and contacts.  

My solution: I charged ahead and took leadership and ownership of it, and kept him in the loop.  

I would spend the next 6 months getting educated and attend conferences like Papersource and Note Expo.
