hey hunter, best of luck on your journey. make sure to go to all networking events in the area and possibly even starting your own to start building footprint in the area.

The energy in person is different for me, and I've made some of my best connections and friends at Chicago meetups.Here is a list of the Chicago event from BP: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a list of ALL THE CHICAGO MEETUPS that I am happy to share with you. 

Beyond the Monthly Management, Placement & Maintenance fees, all other fees in our contract are IF EVENT -> THEN fees.

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

However, to my understanding, a 1031 conversion of an investment property to your primary residence after a safe harbor of two years does not trigger a tax event.

Coach's that are successful make a ton of dough no doubt.. especially those with mass marketing and funnels to the big events.  

@Kevin Hoover, with certain types of entities it is possible to contribute property to and distribute property from that entity without triggering a tax event. 

I’d also love market suggestions and ideas regarding how to connect with others in the REI space outside of the events that BP holds.

If you are in Miami or surrounding area, there are likely tons of networking events.
