I'm located in Dallas, TX, and looking to network with other like-minded individuals.

Let’s share some insights and build stronger networks together.

depending on where you are in NJ you might have the Lehigh Valley in PA a couple hours away, or Delaware, etc. you can go to meetups, see places in person, and start to build a network.

I would like the opportunity to meet/network with fellow investors in that market.

Brokers either get leads through a network of brokers in other disciplines or organic contacts.

As an investor, I value an agent coming to me with deals based on their in depth knowledge of the real estate landscape, networking, connections, and additional information they might be privy to. 

Building a trusted network of contractors will save time and ensure consistency as you scale.

In reality, they're just broadcasting that they have no experience.
