Attend meetups and meet as many people in RE as you can.

The rest of our properties (save one) are also in Cecil County, but some of the investors who attend our REIA are in Newark/Wilmington Delaware area.

Define your investment goals, familiarize yourself with related terms, evaluate your financial situation, begin small, investigate markets, establish investment standards, cultivate professional connections, carry out exhaustive due diligence, investigate funding alternatives, and determine whether to manage the property on your own or by hiring a property management company.Decide what you want to achieve—stable cash flow, long-term growth, tax advantages, or all of these—and dedicate some time to learning about them by reading books, using the internet, taking classes, and attending seminars.

I’m going to attend and see how the process works and try to network a little.

About a year and half ago I attended a conference where we met up with AIRDNA.

I attended the Webinar today with David, and really enjoyed it.

Look for areas with strong rental demand, appreciating property values and favorable investment opportunities.Lastly, connect with other investors and attend local REI networking groups and meetups.

This is my second year attending and I highly recommend it for all MTR operators.

Right now I'm educating myself as much as possible: reading every REI book I can get my hands on, listening to the BP podcast, I've attended one BP webinar.  

Attend your local REI meetups to build up a strong network and feel free to reach out and connect with everyone in the community.
