Quote from @Skyler Bissell: Find in-person events to attend, listen, and meet people who share your interests.

If you're curious, I also host monthly networking events, meetups at current house hack and STR properties, etc. where you can soak in a ton of information and meet with experienced investors who have done the same strategies.

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

these events will happen to many of us eventually.  

From a residential sales perspective, I think it will go up by virtue of life events (family formation, etc.) but it will be a wash.Those that locked in a high 5% to low 6% interest rate in 2022 will now be gearing up to move because they aren't locked into their rates like those in the sub 4%.

There's an upcoming in-person event in Landsdowne, if you're up for it, I'd love to shake hands! 

I find with larger homes that are big enough for wedding parties, reunions etc that I get a lot of bookings well in advance, with ~50% occupancy several months in advance.

You network to find them and you network at the right events with the right intention.

If you are interested in attending the next one feel free to DM and I can share more information about the next event. 

Its the appreciation which provides the realization event you're seeking.
