I need to get out of my comfort zone and network, make friends and take action.

It is nice to network and get mentoring from folks who have owned apartments in your target area for decades, not years. 

Hoping to use Bigger pockets to network and gain knowledge from other members. 

We partnered with a couple of Mexican citizens that have a strong network and see what kind of deal we can put together.

Network and interview several people in that market.We have a ton of West coast investors in the Indianapolis market.

Now is a great time to learn and build your network.

I used to live in Torrance, CA so I am happy to network with someone from Cali.  

By the time you are closing on the first property, you will have honed the fundamentalsnegotiation - it will feel like you have to think about a lot of things all-at-once, and it will all feel new. truth is, its not really that difficult, it's just the new-ness that can overwhelm folks at first. networking - talking to folks in the business and finding your voice: agents/brokers, property managers, fellow investorWe own some SFR investments, as well... but we didn't learn nearly as much buying them, as when we purchased a duplex.

I've learned a lot in the process and my network has grown tremendously. 

Networking, build the contacts that can help build your business.
