I would find an investor friendly Realtor locally that is also an investor themselves or local to the area you want to invest.They will have experience and connections to help you find and evaluate investment properties.I would ask the investor friendly Realtor for a property manager referral as the property manager will be an important member of your investing team.

I worked for an investor for several years and learned a lot (he used BP Investors) and love the industry- I’d love to make some connections here.

Primarily focused on Multifamily real estate and House hacking.I look forward to connecting!

My hope in joining this community is to learn more from others with experience, get a better understanding of the real estate / rental market as a whole, learn best practices when considering an investment property, get recommendations on educational material, and make professional connections along the way.

But, you are so wrong on connecting with other investors because you are talking about funds.
