You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read and provide your ideas.I am just starting out (in the UK), and I have been reaching out to real estate investors on linkedin and facebook, organizing chats to learn more about where they started, where they see opportunities currently in our market, etc.One question which all investors asked me is: What is my strategy?

The people I know are mainly via Facebook and not close connections.

And you can look for Facebook groups (most markets have some form of Abilene Real Estate Investors group).  

I've host monthly REI meetups via Biggerpockets and the local investor Facebook group that I run.

See what's on facebook marketplace & craigslist, so many people have extra construction materials from remodels they'll give away for like $20.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

Even facebook will have some.
