@David Savoy - check out our next event W2-RE (next week and every 3rd Thu of the month) and APLBNM (every 1st Thu of the month).

I disagree with your version of events but your feedback and experience with us is relevant.This was beyond our 30 day full guarantee and satisfaction policy when we were informed by you of your demand for something outside the contract well after that period.

@Balaji Vasudevan meetup.com and they have events posted on here. 

Additionally, attending local real estate investor associations can be fruitful, as wholesalers often attend these events to connect with potential buyers.Another method is to keep an eye out for bandit signs in your local area that advertise messages like "we buy houses" or "cash for homes."

If you are an out of town investor then I fear investments in this neighborhood (and those like it, Toledo has several) will result in an overall portfolio with higher-than expected wear-and-tear, lower resident financial stability directly translating to shorter times between re-leasing events, and I am curious how much higher the values can go (From $60k pre-2009 to $8k when I bough and I am now steadily see $60k listings again...even a $90k one!).

Attend real estate events or join local real estate groups.

Are there specific networking events, online platforms, or strategies that have proven effective for building relationships with investors?

If there's  appreciation events around the corner or an opportunity to increase the rents in an established market where the portfolio will be difficult to replicate, find a way to hang in there.

Expand your network and explore social media events.

The syndicator proactively notifies their capital relationships to take inventory of what equity could be available for deployment in the event the contract is awarded.
