I'd recommend joining meetups to meet people like me that are part of Connecticut's real estate community. 

Great that you joined the site! 

Glad you joined the best real estate investing website!

Luckily, there's many ways to make a fortune in RE.I have never wholesaled, but I've spoken with many who made $20k+ on their first deal, which is 6 months salary at a 9-5 for many.For me, I escaped the 9-5 just 3 months after joining the mortgage side.

I'm thrilled to be joining this community of real estate investors!

@Jay Dave if you are not already, I strongly encourage you to join RHAWA (The Rental Housing Assoc of WA) and/or have a good attorney on standby. 

BP Community, Excited to announce that I've joined the Keller Williams team and I'm growing my business in the NY-Metro area.

Join as many REI fb groups relevant to Philly investing, and get to know other investors in the space.

Joined BP today to learn the in's and out's of the business from like mind people.

A few methods include: Real estate conferences (which can be costly), joining paid communities (which can really be costly), the meetups and forums posted in BiggerPockets, local events, and other online softwares that allow you to search for buyers specifically interested in your location and preferences (of which I like freipro.com the best).
