Attend meetups and meet as many people in RE as you can.

The rest of our properties (save one) are also in Cecil County, but some of the investors who attend our REIA are in Newark/Wilmington Delaware area.

We are in Denver, our market is a little different than a cashflow market like Cleveland. 

Define your investment goals, familiarize yourself with related terms, evaluate your financial situation, begin small, investigate markets, establish investment standards, cultivate professional connections, carry out exhaustive due diligence, investigate funding alternatives, and determine whether to manage the property on your own or by hiring a property management company.Decide what you want to achieve—stable cash flow, long-term growth, tax advantages, or all of these—and dedicate some time to learning about them by reading books, using the internet, taking classes, and attending seminars.

I’m going to attend and see how the process works and try to network a little.

About a year and half ago I attended a conference where we met up with AIRDNA.

Personally in denver it’s super saturated and hard to rent room due to the amount of supply.

I attended the Webinar today with David, and really enjoyed it.

I househacked in Denver renting out my walk-out basement and it was a better financial decision than to have a long term rental.As for timing, if you were going to rent for a year while you look for a property anyway, I'd keep living at parent's house and look at property aggressively during weekends or weekdays after work.

Look for areas with strong rental demand, appreciating property values and favorable investment opportunities.Lastly, connect with other investors and attend local REI networking groups and meetups.
