I lived in Kendall while attending grad school.

Definitely planning on attending the next meeting in Gaithersburg.

I just received my LLC paperwork back from the state and will be attending a foreclosure auction in early November.

You may also want to attend your local real estate investment club.

I'm a strong believer in keeping your people first and while the goal is to be able to have financial freedom so that I can travel around the world, I want to be able to make sure that I take care of home first and give back.I found a meetup in the next couple weeks actually and I am so excited to attend and network!

We are thinking about attending the next REI meet up in Rhode Island so that way we can begin networking with others in our area.

Attend local events https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenings, you might just find a potential mentor in one of the REI meetups.

Thanks for the info Dan and i am actually attending a REIA meeting tonight.

@Ned CareyI attended an REIA meeting at the Sheraton in Towson and the speaker there (a commercial real estate investor) advise the same when purchasing commercial properties.
