We have a meet up scheduled soon for our local investors. 

, let’s meet up and chat!

All have to be screened and meet your qualifications.

Hey Kolby, Nice to meet you!

I'd recommend you pick a few that meet certain standards, and really start to sink your roots in where you can attain proficiency in making sound purchase decisions

You'll be able to meet seasoned investors that can direct you in the right direction.

I completed an internship in commercial real estate, and I also attended a couple of local REIA meetings/networking events before moving to Northern VA.I was able to narrow down potential strategies, and I figured both BRRR as well as wholesaling don't seem to be the best strategies for me.

If they don't meet your standards don't rent to them.

this means getting off the Internet and going to meetups, meeting other investors, seeing properties, looking on market and off, and putting offers in.
