I'm particularly interested in:Finding Mentors: Connecting with seasoned investors who can offer guidance and insights.Networking with Professionals: Meeting real estate agents, lenders, contractors, and other professionals who can contribute to successful deals.Exploring Joint Venture Opportunities: Collaborating with other investors on potential projects.Learning About Local Market Trends: Gaining a deeper understanding of the real estate dynamics in these areas.I'm open to attending local real estate meetups or cash flow groups.
