I'll shoot you a PM with a link to them, they're free to attend and we'd love to have you!

Find the REIA group for your areaAs Henry noted, post something specific for your area and tag your market.Get on Loopnet for your area and property type, reach out to the brokers that are listing deals and offer to take to coffee (they are often invested in deals too but you could ask for connections to other operators that might be getting started).And, again as Henry noted, each person you meet, ask them what other networking events they have attended that you can put on your list.

Makes me think they could be too busy taking care of a new baby to attend to guest issues? 

For the public unless you're attending EVERY planning commission and city council/county commissioner meeting you wont hear all of the back and forth.  

Hi Levi - I'm also looking into OOS and heard about Tuscaloosa, AL being a good college town to invest in.

Quote from @John Lee: Hi all,My name is John and I'm a recent college grad about to start a Masters (SF/San Jose Area home base in California).

I am 20 years old and trying to learn as much as i can about real estate so that when i graduate college and have a steady income Ill be able to make smart investments hopefully leading to financial freedom.

We are where we are exactly because of the morons who went from Prep School to Ivy League College, to Law School, to some top-notch Law Firm, to some Govt agency.

Ideally, I’d be buying and selling and potentially managing properties as a job, and be working the gardens and hobby farming, potentially attending farmers markets on weekends (we both love to create things).

Are you attending the RPOA annual Expo next week in GR from the 21-23rd... it’s free?
