To start your journey, I recommend focusing on building your network by joining meetups and engaging in online forums, while narrowing down your first investment based on your budget, market, and goals.

Looking forward to building a strong network and creating win-win partnerships!

This deal came through Partner Driven's local network in Windsor, NC.

It helps a lot with networking on here.Other than that, be a sponge and soak up as much content to learn the game.

For example, I was just at a networking event where the owner of a very experienced property management company shared a story about how he branded an apartment complex in Plant City, FL to The Henry Plant Apartments (or something to that effect). 

Hi Anthony,I have a network funding service that can help you guide your decision.Best, Jay

If you wish to network or ask specific questions about your local market, you can go to your local real estate forum and discuss with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking 5.

@Emeka OkekeIt's great to see your commitment to learning and networking—those are key to success in real estate.

I’m new to the space but eager to learn from experienced professionals, expand my network, and find opportunities to collaborate.
