Not only did Josh and Brandon team up to write this ultimate guide, but they’re teaming up to participate in a live author Q & A session—exclusively for people who buy this book from biggerpockets.com/store!

I recommend Deal Maker Sessions and Metrolina REIA.

We host value add speakers and have a networking session as well.

We have a monthly meeting - first Tuesday of every month 7pm at the Airport Marriott called Deal Maker Session.

I just had a 30 minute chat session with Google Play Music. 

.- I'm interested in investing in a local franchise and being very hands on so as to hone skills,  network etc (S, B quadrants)- I initially let youtube pick the order of the BP podcasts for me so I quickly stumbled into the Grant Cardone session.

Especially as we go into a winter session where sales start to slow down and purchase prices decrease.

If this does not quite work, use one of your 45-minute sessions on social media, and then unplug for a while.

@Kris Nicholson You should join TREIA, and (independently) feel free to attend tonight's Triangle Deal Maker Sessions (go to MeetUp for details).

Here are some specific action items:-build out your profile on BP, I want to see a picture of you, know what you do and what your goals are-be helpful on BP, start trying to answer/participate in posts where you have some value-start reaching out to people on BP specifically, with small, specific asks-go to a few networking events every month and plan on talking to many people...it takes 5 + bad conversations to find 1 good one-go to 2-3 conferences per year and be very purposeful there in your intentions, don't just go to sessions and stay quiet, be intereactiveI probably should have started with this, but what is your goal in connecting with these people?
