Beyond trying to connect on this forum would recommend look in the BP Meet up section and checking out local DFW FB RE investor Facebook groups as well as Meetup.com and Eventbrite for local events. 

I completed an internship in commercial real estate, and I also attended a couple of local REIA meetings/networking events before moving to Northern VA.I was able to narrow down potential strategies, and I figured both BRRR as well as wholesaling don't seem to be the best strategies for me.

@Taylor Philley I attended the residential assisted living academy classes in 2019, I really like the folks there.

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

Check out Meetup groups or BiggerPockets to find in-person events in both Boston and Chicago.

In the unlikely event that you are the exception that proves the rule, the rare 18 year old who can actually generate a serious income by wholesaling real estate, your day to day will look like the following: - You will door knock, cold call, send mailers, and otherwise create lists of people who are in the most desperate moments of their lives. 

I put on Events when I'm doing a meetup.

They also ask people to look into their financials and assets at the sales event.

Quote from @Kiryl Ulanovich: What is the order of events that I have to do as a flipper with the participation of wholesaler and hard money lender?

Many of the people that come are members of Lifestyles Unlimited so they sometimes talk about upcoming events for members only, but the meeting is open to everyone and they share some excellent information.
