Quote from @Serena Lemmons: Hi All, I have been researching real estate investing for a while and feel like the next step is to meet some investors in the area that I can learn from.

When I asked for a meeting with Dutch to discuss my investment strategy, he did meet with me and was pleasant.

Would love to connect and get to know/meet investors on here and form a relationship where we can help each other.Thanks any advice is greatly appreciated!

You have the tools and mindset that work with larger scale commercial so I would network until you meet someone who may let you run some of their deals with them and see what they look like in person.

Hi @Joelle Chilazi,Great to meet you.

Write to Wagner for a meeting.

I don't recommend throwing the baby out with the bath water, and definitely make sure you understand the nature of the Mentor you choose.BP is a great resource to meet some amazing people. 

Starting a property management company with my brother and my dad was a mix of teamwork, trust, and family dinners doubling as business meetings.

You picked a good week to meet other investors: the RPA is hosting their annual RPA-CON Friday and Saturday in Milwaukee.

A great way to get started is to go to local real estate investor meetups and meet other investors.
