I am a senior baseball player at the University of Memphis.

I wanted to introduce myself as I am incredibly anxious to step foot into the incredible world of REI and would love to know if there are any local investors that meet/would like to meet on a semi-regular basis.I currently have a full time job in outside sales in the Arvada area so I do a lot of driving around which enables me to spend a lot of my time listening to podcasts and educating myself but I would love to get to know some players within my local area to really dive deep into the subject and in which I could potentially be of value in the future.

There are number of great meet ups here and lots of major players here on the BP network. 

You’re competing with an endless array of other investment opportunities that will generate far better return with far less risk/overhead than real estate.

Although Bitcoin has the biggest name, there are many other cryptocurrencies competing for the market.

If they did they’d realize that someone with no capital, no experience and no relevant education can’t possible compete in a field populated by people with 20 years experience spending $10k monthly on lead generation.   

That said, on any given day, any of the three types of lenders can compete well on interest rates and fees if they choose to.

Hi @Kelly Rao, we compete with Nomad in the Denver property management market, so I'm familiar with their business model. 

I am in DC area and wanted to be active but found there was no way I could compete with people chasing off market deals who did it for a living when I was working 50 hours per week.

@Suzanne Player If you want a counterpoint, I navigated a major claim not long ago without a public adjuster.
