Networking and community building through platforms like BiggerPockets, local REI meetups, and real estate Facebook groups can help diversify your portfolio.

To name a few factors: your time commitment, ability to focus on marketing & sales, your network...As a current business owner, you may already have a pretty good starting point.Most agents close 1-2 deals their first year (if any)...

Network with local groups, explore financing options and consider niche strategies.

Indianapolis, with its established investor network and potential for higher cash flow, might provide more immediate returns.

Attending local meetups/conferences/networking events is a GREAT way to share advice, insights, and make connections.

Or do you think we could network to find mentor/partners and avoid the large up-front investment? 

Let's connect, would love to connect you with some realtors in my network!

I just joined Bigger Pockets to meet new like-minded investors and build my network.

You network to find them and you network at the right events with the right intention.
