Also, networking with local real estate agents and attending meetups in those areas can help you find off-market deals that might not be listed online.Have you considered specific states or cities for your investment?

The other issue is they happen once a month and I'm not always able to attend.

Sorry, have not been on in a while - I did not attend the event and currently have decided not to pursue RAL and focus on our single family and multifamily properties.

I am currently an Asset Manager for Multifamily Deals as my W-2 job and looking to buying my first deal in College Station/Bryan Area.Anyone I can connect with to pick their brain on different investing strategies? 

We had a record breaking online attendance this week, hope to do the same next month:  Top 10 Title Issues Real Estate Investors have to solve with Accurate Title

I've owned 2 houses in College Station/Bryan (Texas A&M University) for 8 years.

When I was starting, I focused on building my network, attending networking events, and was fortunate to find a mentor.

This is the first month he is now barely giving any money when I ask about the rent.I was willing to take him with his cat, turns out he does not take care of his cat and needs constant prompting to attend to the cat.I try to keep myself out of their rooms as it is none of my business how they want to keep their room but he lives in trash, old food and I noticed multiple piss bottles.

If you attend the Webinars, they usually give discount codes, just FYI though the discount code is only for when you do the ANNUAL Membership, not for the monthly billing one :]

IF you choose to invest out of state, don't pick a random market. pick one you have ties to or know well or can drive to or went to college in or hope to move to eventually or like to vacation in or where you have two handy uncles.
