@Max BellileTo build relationships in the real estate investing and business communities in NJ, join local real estate groups like REIAs, meetup groups, and local events like Chamber of Commerce events and open houses.

I recommend as a first step in your education in this new type of investing - join a Community that is specific to syndication investors.  

Join local REIA groups in Austin to connect with wholesalers and investors with insight into off-market deals.

I have learn a lot in the short period of time, Joining BP is one of the smart decision so far, I hope you are accumulating good amount of Knowledge   

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?

Are there also groups within LinkedIn that I could join or is there some other method of finding investors on LinkedIn? 

Target neighborhoods near Bradley University, research rents, join real estate investment groups, connect with local agents, use the 1% rule, prepare for financing, and seek advice on cash flow and property analysis.Good luck!

(Joining local REIA meet up groups is a great way to network and be around like-minded people doing what you want to do).1.

Some buildings may require you to join the in house rental program, I generally wouldn't want one of those.

It costs $3,000 to join the group that pays back 150% of the amount borrowed for under 30 days.
