Man, humanity is predictable.The current news hyperbole is free-spinning existential nonsense re: extinction level agency event in the making- realtor survival rates are/have been akin to baby sea turtles, so now what?

I would love to know if there are any groups, clubs or events in the area for investors both residential and commercial and if there are any companies with apprenticeships for investors, property managers or project managers.

You may communicate with them via the forums or by sending them private messages.Attend Local gatherings: Find out whether Northeast Florida is hosting any events or gatherings for real estate investors.

Network with local investors through local groups, attending events, and social media platforms.

Seeking a mentor is a fantastic idea to guide you through your first real estate investmentI'd recommend exploring networking events, online forums, and local real estate meetups.Best of luck! 

Seems like the hottest area right now for that is West Dallas around Singleton and Hampton.Some in Oak Cliff as well especially on East Side of 35.You're a warrior though if you're building spec homes as a small builder. 

It's helpful to have multiple lenders in any event.

I committed to going to a few real estate events a few years back and made a point to have casual conversations with 1-2 people per event and from there, I could feel the metaphorical snowball begin to roll down the hill. 

I haven't officially joined the NCREIA yet but I am going to a real estate investing workshop later this month in Durham so hoping to connect with a lot of people that weekend and will probably officially join and start going to more events. 

@Mike Lambert Hello everyone,I’m from Atlanta Ga but currently living in Playacar Phase 2 in Playa del Carmen i bought a condo here in the last development available call AWA, i highly recommend it, it’s beautiful, safe and has the best amenities in the area.But I’m also investing in Tulum in the newest and closest area to the beach call Tulum 101 or area 101.This is going to be a huge gated development with other different apartment developments inside all with their own gate as well and nice amenities.Right now aldea zama is the hottest area because the proximity to the beach, but not anymore since Area 101 came out.
