Connect with local investors through real estate investment groups, attending housing fairs, and speaking with property managers familiar with the LSU rental market.Good luck!

Physician loan programs can swing wildly from lender-to-lender because most physician loans are portfolio programs which allow each bank to make their own decision on guidelines.Many of the programs will allow you close within 30-60 days of your start date as an attending physician.

@Christian Gibbs a lot depends on what the attendence at town council is about, are they specifically representing you and your property to town boards?

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?

There are a lot of Northern NJ real estate investor meetups that you can attend to connect.

I would suggest if you are going, do your best to find people who will be attending also and prearrange meetings with them.

@Collin SchwartzYou are a cool guy for putting on all of the Omaha meetups and you have done a great job in a very short period of time.I met you at one of your meetups last year, but work, family, and my investment properties have kept me too busy to attend recently. 

Here are a few simple and free ways to learn: Go to real estate meetup groups, attend open houses and speak with the agent there, inspect FSBOs (for sale by owner), walk your area, and speak to people tending their yards.The idea is to engage with other people and ask, Ask, ASK questions about their experience with the local market.Some other ideas: find a home inspector who will let you tag along in a property inspection, and absorb what they are looking at and why.Your mindset and enthusiasm for learning about real estate will open many doors for you.Good Luck!

@Evan RobertI’m not too sure of any GTA meetings currently, but there’s an event in the Durham region on the 9th that I will be attending!
