Now that we're settled in our new home, I'm looking to find my first property in the next 6-9 months.I'm always looking to meet new people and continue to grow a real estate network. 

We network, discuss problems that we're facing and solutions for them. 

I still have a W2 but our portfolio has been consistently growing, since I started networking more. 

You have to be networked in that world to get the best deals and loan products.  

The jeweler wants high income, the day care center wants families with children, the RE Investor wants homeowners likely to sell and homes within specific price ranges.You also have to get the post cards delivered to the post office that does the delivery.

Yes, we should get like minded people together to have conversations and network.

If you are not adding value with direct owned real estate, you will get higher returns with passive investing in syndications (IRR in the mid teens).You find sponsors and offerings by networking...here on BP (it's why I have 1700 posts), listening to podcasts, REI meetings, some registered investment advisors have them, crowdfunding sites. 

If you haven’t already go attend networking meetings and meet other investors.

Hello,A friend and I are interested in starting to wholesale in the Chicagoland area and were hoping to network with a few wholesalers in the area to get advice on starting out.

I am looking to network and find professionals that could help me get started and can introduce me to their network.
