Glad I found and joined the BP community, only wish I had discovered it when I first had rental properties. 

@Michael Montesano thanks for the tip.I will definitely go ahead and join this meet up.Also, would you suggest to try and partner up for my first deal?

All are welcomed to join.

Just left an RE-Mentor 3 day workshop and after having already spent $4,000, I was debating paying an extra $40k-$80k to join the mentorship and coaching program but a friend who was already in real estate advised me to save that money and to rather network and invest my time and resources in local coaches, reading books, starting small and scaling up.

@Collin Chan here's the info...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/749405-5th-sf-bay-summit-feb-8-and-9-2020-join-the-reunion?

I would love to join and network. 

When I said go buy a apartment, what that means is instead of joining a website about real estate investing to complain about your landlord maybe you should stick around and learn some more information so that you dont have to be a tennat for the rest of your life. 

Also you can choose to join a local real estate team that has a traditional office so you can have the convenience and flexibility of technology and the comfort of one on one human interactions.

I have been lurking around on the bigger pockets forums for a while and decided to join the community. 

Consider networking at or joining your local Chamber of Commerce, membership has benefits.
