I have no affiliation nor benefit from DIG in any way.

Becoming an affiliate will allow both ends to track KPIs and monitor deal flow. 2.)

It was possible for a resident to view a property, be approved, sign a lease, and move-in without ever talking to or meeting a human affiliated with the owner or property manager.

I think they may focus on larger MF and syndications, but I'm thinking it may still be a good networking opportunity since many investors have portfolios that overlap across several property types.I am not affiliated with the group, and this will be my first time attending this meetup, but it looks like it might be something useful to you.

The brokerage I'm considering has informed me that if I happen to find a buyer or seller before my planned start date in January 2024, I can promptly activate my license and start doing business.Another thing I wanted to ask is whether I should start printing my own business cards, even before affiliating with a brokerage.

If you don't want to give yourself a part-time job, I would consider using a local management company not affiliated with the building.
