I will caution that I had a similar experience with a previous tenant and face-to-face interactions always went better than expected, but things slowly went downhill afterwards until another altercation was on the horizon and another face-to-face was needed.I hope that isn't the case for you, but if it is make sure to keep a level head and focus on the big picture.

I'm also very interested in hearing about local groups that meet or people who are just willing to share knowledge ( free lunch in it for you most likely :) ).Can't wait to start interacting with everyone!

The webinars are about an hour long, and they are interactive so you can ask questions.

I've been following the podcast and reading the forums for quite some time and finally decided to jump in and start interacting.

@David Begley could you please clarify if the crowd funding platforms you have interacted with are only for accredited investors?

I'm thinking of getting my real estate license as part of my learning, but I also want to get started soon so I don't lost my momentum.I'm glad for the chance to interact with folks on BP and I'm eager to find a way to contribute as well.Thanks for reading!

I'm at a stage where I could gain considerably by interacting with BP members who are actively investing in RE and can guide me through the steps in investing in RE.

Looking forward to interacting on the forums and hopefully collaborating with other fellow investors to add value while doing business.

The more intimate the interaction the better chance you have of uncovering what their fears and needs are which, if properly addressed, will give you a much better chance of converting that prospect into a private lender.

You meet them socially (might be professionally, but you will still need social interaction), you impress with knowledge, your deals done, your accomplishments.
