I would look at multifamily meet ups in the area to start.

I just moved to Tyler and bought my first real estate property here and I just wanted to meet other likeminded investors in the area!

Pleasure introducing myself to this community and let me know if you have any plans to come to Dubai soon and we could meet up for a coffee or a call!

Is simple forget all you know, go to local Investor Meeting meet investor flippers and wholesaler. 

Quote from @Melissa Stanley: I’m hoping to purchase a few properties with a friend/business partner but after meeting with a lawyer am even more confused.

Some custodians may offer access to platforms with investment opportunities, as well.

I would recommend attending some local meet up groups or REIA meetings.

We set up our CPA, LLC, website, marketing plat forms (social media), investor (sponsors) list, I have an operation manager, acquisition manager, and myself leading the charge.

I've since also requested the same list from 5 other cities.I am looking forward to meeting some of you and hopefully working and learning from you as well.

I’m planning a trip to Birmingham in the next week or so to meet with agents, build my network, and hopefully find my first deal.If anyone has experience investing in Birmingham or has recommendations for agents, contractors, or lenders, I’d love to connect!
