Hey @Francisco Javier Villanueva,Glad to see you looking for events to get out and meet the people who are active in your area! 

I have already met with and spoken with a couple through my current work (both active and recently "retired") that didn't seem all that eager to get into the topic, or interested even offering advice beyond "I wouldn't recommend it."

Then, actively track and adjust as need.

This is a team sport.

You need to know how many of those things/activities lead to a deal.

Passive Activity Losses: Are there ways to offset my W-2 income with rental losses, or do I need to qualify as a real estate professional for that to work?

I have met a few folks recently who are active in that market and I am planning on following up and seeing what their experience has been.

I am a realtor in North Carolina and I am actively buying properties for myself as well as for my investor clients.

Hi @Katie Lyon,Properties are typically still selling in Cape Coral right now to active buyers, even with elevated inventory.

DM me if interested.We have a very active real estate community here from CTREIA and meetups from @Brandon Rush, @Stephanie Cabral, @Devin Peterson, @Ryan Luby in central CT.
