Make sure you connect with the NHREIA, great group, they have monthly meetings in Manchester and a busy FB group with 3500+ members.

There is also podcastguests.com as well as several facebook groups where you can find people to get on other podcasts. 

I’m not familiar with CFREIA yet, but it sounds like a fantastic group.

Even if these relationships don't go anywhere, you'll get a lot from just having a couple of calls.Next I would try to find some local investment groups/communities and try to chat with as many investors as you can to get an idea how other's started out in your market.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.You're feeling FOMO because you see people all over BP, YouTube, and Instagram bragging about their success.

Welcome to the group!

This group is full of knowledgeable people, though you may sometimes get conflicting advice.

I'm connected with a group in Indianapolis that meets monthly. 

We offer the mortgage investments to our investment group & service each loan. 

You're taking a great first step by joining this group and seeking guidance.
