I think others have given you great advice.For most people I say go to some meetup groups for a year. 

There are a bunch of reasons people sell a property.

On most any day you could find people walking dogs, or children playing in the area.

Money now is very good because you are new and ready to do all the work, but the examples you'll hear about are people posting on BP saying, "well, I did all the work and they got a lot or most of the profit." 

I'm looking to network with people investing, selling, and rehabbing.  

High property prices mean fewer people can afford to buy, so more people rent.

I'm quite new as an investor, but with three books by Biggerpockets authors under my belt and plenty of enthusiasm, I'm ready to keep learning and to connect with like-minded people in my area and beyond.

I think other people seeing makes me feel accountable to post along with having it written out.

I think people were/are just trying to avoid agreeable gray.

@Nina Erlandson I have not used them before personally but I work in the insure-tech space and know some people there.
