BUT they go into what they're currently working on, what/who they're seeking at this event, and I get a good sense of where they're at along their journey.One of the best books I read on the subject of effective networking/relationship building was Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazi. 

Yes, private money, but you need to build up some reps and proof of concept so friends and family can see what you have done.

Also, in Southern CA, we have a lobbying group named the BIA (Building Industry Association)...they lobby for pro housing legislation both at the state level and city/county level. 

I gave him some ideas, (OKC, Omaha, parts of TX) and he was dead set on the south.Thought this would be an interesting question that if you want to build a portfolio but only could target homes under 250k to hold as rentals, where would you look? 

Usually you can lend for flips and builds. 

Get rid of debt, build a budget, and save.

I'm particularly passionate about building wealth via real estate investment.Outside of real estate, I enjoy being out in the nature .. 

I own a couple short term rentals in broken bow Oklahoma and am working on acquiring more, and also working on getting into land development (goal of building smaller single family subdivisions).Looking forward to connecting!

I want to walk away from 9-5 life and build solid real estate for the next 5-10 years.

Again, that's my opinion, but then layer in the fact that builders are building at a pace that is far less than necessary to keep up with new families and homes.
