Joining investor groups or attending meetups can connect with seasoned investors.

I attended a seminar at a local REIA and they talked about using debt as a "weapon" to get out of debt faster (thus paying off your mortgage early).

Invest in Knowledge and NetworkingJoin local real estate investment groups, attend seminars, and connect with mentors.

Attend RE meet ups

I analyzed over 20 markets and picked three so there are a lots of markets to choose from.Start networking on bigger pockets as well as attend local meetups and REIs to find referrals for GC, PM, broker, TKP, lender, property inspector etc.

I attended couple of real estate meetups.

I would recommend attending local meet ups so you can talk to investors who buy in California as well as OOS.

I used a promo code provided at the end of a webinar and paid for one full (discounted) year after attending "The 90 Day Challenge" with Dave Meyer.Attendees who purchase the Pro membership are supposed to get the "Real Estate by the Numbers" book as well.

Attend real estate workshops, engage with local investor groups, and absorb insights from experienced investors.

Have you attended any events from this group: https://www.meetup.com/annapolis-baltimore-real-estate-inves...I have friends that attend similar meetings with REA groups in other markets and say it's really useful.
