I would certainly encourage you to get plugged in here locally.

While this group is born from the BiggerPockets real estate community, we welcome investors on other platforms such as Connected Investors, etc.  

Our Members have access to a variety of real estate investment opportunities across different risk and return levels on the RealtyMogul Platform that empowers them to build a balanced portfolio that best fits their financial needs.

However, there are a few things you should keep in mind.Most of these platforms require that you be an accredited investor in order to invest in their real estate syndication offerings.
