I'd suggest you meet Julie Hudleson Schmidgall with METEC.

I highly recommend attending real estate networking events to meet more people is this space and pick their brain and learn more from their projects and see what is working and what is not.

But I can't help but think that I could benefit from the occasional discussion about real estate strategies or bounce opportunities off one another.Coach Carson's RPM program details below:Cost: ~$2500/yearBenefits (form Website):Personalized Coaching: Members receive direct support and feedback from Coach Carson and selected coaches, including monthly group coaching sessions, one-on-one "hot seat" calls, and small group coaching within Action Teams.Action Teams: These are accountability groups of 8-10 members that meet weekly over a three-month period to set and achieve goals, fostering perseverance and resilience among participants.Comprehensive Resources: Members have access to a repository of documents, systems, checklists, and more in the community swipe file, including tenant screening criteria, due diligence checklists, and rental analysis spreadsheets.Exclusive Community: RPM offers a private community of like-minded investors who prioritize time and freedom over scaling rapidly, providing a supportive environment for shared learning and growth.The Group Targets:Investors with experience owning 1 to 8+ properties, whether short-term (e.g., Airbnb), mid-term, or long-term rentals.Individuals who are coachable, hardworking, and value time and freedom over aggressive scaling.

Quote from @Ryan Daulton: Do you mean an REI meet up or mastermind? 

I went to a Renatus meeting in Denver weeks before the pandemic.

While this is regular due diligence, mistakes can be made when the market is hot and you have to move fast.

The location really caught our eye—close to Uptown Charlotte, which is always a hot area.

Multi family loans under $1,000,000 are certainly more difficult to obtain because they don't meet the minimums of most companies and most local banks aren't so welcoming to out of state investors. 

I'd be happy to share some great local meet ups and also open to connecting.

We were already well past the scheduled meet time so I didn't want to push.
