Are there any REI meetup events soon? 

It was always....black swan event, interest rates never went this high, no one foresaw this, insurance and taxes are through the roof, not our fault.

Check the in person events and meetups in your local area, our online community is full of knowledge and folks willing to share and still nothing replaces the opportunity to interact IRL, you never know who you will meet and where that can take you on your REI journey.

You can also purchase through Kingdom Trust which provides cold storage and some insurance in the event of a loss.Bitcoin is still considered speculative but much less so today than 10 years ago.

I'm in the middle of a live and flip so if you want to talk house hacking or construction happy to answer any specific questions.A few resources that might be useful for you given what you're looking for, I know they've helped me:The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs by J ScottThe event and meetup forum here on BP for finding IRL events to go and meet other local investors and soon-to-be-investors Setting keyword triggers here on BiggerPockets for things like Denver, House Hack, etc so that you don't have to go out and search for the information, the information can find you!
