I would recommend leveraging the BP forums to connect with existing syndicators.

I want to become really good at analyzing deals, and determine the markets I should focus on.Are there any resources aside from this forum (books, journals, news publications, podcasts) that you recommend I use to learn more?

Stay for the forums, avoid the Bigger Pockets upsells and you will be golden.

Quote from @Josh Smith: Hello guys,This is my first post on the BiggerPockets forums. 

I appreciate the podcast and forums here! 

I would check out university housing websites and forums to find specific neighborhoods to target.

Glad to know others use it and like it at least from the sounds of those on this forum. 

I built my team through networking on places like BP forums and FB groups.I have since moved to Indianapolis from the west coast to continue to grow my portfolio here and have expanded my business to include support for other OOS investors who need the same support I did when I was remote.

I was hoping it would be posted somewhere in the forum so I wouldn't have to bother you directly but it does not seem to be.Thanks for contributing to the Bigger Pockets community in this way

Hey @Christopher Heidrich, welcome to the BP Forum!
