Liam,Let's Connect add me to your Network.

I was hoping to find opportunities to network and possible find someone interested in possibly mentoring.

Everyone says that you can do it with 0 % down but you really have to have your network down in order to be able to do that.

For instance, having a network of experienced investors can help you navigate challenges and identify profitable opportunities more quickly.Another consideration is the potential benefits of passive income.

(i.e. most done work via phone and internet/building networks locally) I am currently in Virginia but want to look at cheaper markets for investments such as Pittsburg, PA.Hope to meet some great like-minded people here!

Indianapolis, with its established investor network and potential for higher cash flow, might provide more immediate returns.

Down the road, the 1031 exchange and Section 121 combo is pretty unbelievable if you hire the right CPA. 

I found this deal through my local real estate network, which alerted me to its potential as part of a larger development opportunity.

This is surely the best place to start networking and learning.

the first step that I would take is to find an investor from the realtor in your area and you can build a lot of your network just piggybacking off of theirs with their recommendations of contractors and other professionals biggerPockets has a great tool for finding realtors.
