I'm on the hunt for real estate meetups to expand my experience and network, but I must not be looking in the right places.

@Duke Butterfield no one can really answer whether or not real estate is a good choice for you - except YOU!

As far as meetups go, you can find a lot of local events posted here on BiggerPockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a list of Chicago meetups that I can share with you as well.

I've been learning real-estate for over a year.

I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of success, and I’m always excited to network, collaborate, and grow within the Orlando real estate community.
