I’m here to expand my network, connect with investors, hard money lenders, and fellow professionals, and collaborate on value-driven real estate opportunities.

Networking at events is a great way to connect with people in your community and find an investor who may be willing to be your mentor.  

The real benefits are that you'll learn a lot, grow your network and meet a ton of subcontractors (this is CRITICAL if you want to be a GC), learn the construction process, and (like Bruce said) if the GC likes/trusts you they'll probably sign off on the experience even if you're still a year or two short.

Be sure to attend your local REI meetups to build up a strong network and check out the forum topics specific to your goals.

Check out this meet-up in the OC also listed on BiggerPockets here: OC Real Estate Investor Networking - Founders of Creative Vestors (biggerpockets.com)Good Investing...

Wholesalers, bird dogs, networking, MLS (occasionally there is a deal), mailers, SEO, media adds. 

I'm relatively new to commercial real estate and sometimes it's a lot to take in, but I'm super excited to be here and network, learn tips and tricks on real estate and investing, and build relationships with you all.

Good delivery ratio.

I just need a good networking strategy.
