@Johnny Quilenderino I read your question but it sounds like you are already on the right track by attending your local RE meeting.

There is one schedule on Monday Sept 25 that is heavily attended by BP members (@Brandon Turner, his wife @Heather Turner and child-Rosy does not yet have a BP profile were at the last one). 

., Are you attending the SF Bay Area Real Estate Summit in October?  

@Becky Rodriguez Try attending different groups, and see which ones relate best with your interests.

Have fun - don't take yourself too seriouslylearn the pleasures of COLD CALLING sellersread financial newspapers - look for auctions - law suits -failure to pay taxes notices and business opportunitiesSearch tax sales - attend tax auctions - read probate adssit in court - listen to cases - find motivated sellerscreate a Fiduciary Buyers Broker agreement with smart agents - pay them for non-listed real estate.don't waste your time with non-responsive agents - brokers - lenders or sellersbe demanding - get answers - don't be passive - at our age (I am 75) we don't have time to waste!

I've sent out mailers, started attending REIA meetups, called homeowners, and this weekend I actually started visiting houses I'd like to invest in.  

I am new to investing and would like to attend any informational meetings possible.

I am looking forward to attending a meet up soon!

I have also been attending REAPS and investor meetings, and will be attending REI very soon.

My plan of action is to start attending REIA meetings in Austin, meet up with local investors, contact real estate agents, and consult with a law firm.
