Networking is the foundation of any good REI business!

If you're interested in an Orlando meet up, I can add you to a free private group I've found through networking with other local investors here on BP.

I look forward to networking with the community and contributing value to everyone however I can!

Also, since you just relocated to the area, consider finding local REI clubs via Meetup website and start attending them to network with other RE investors.Good luck!

I'm currently looking for partners/mentors in Atlanta area to help me get started with this journey I'm not much of a handyman but if anyone needs a network engineer to help them set up an office or get the internet to work  I'm your guy  

If I was in your shoes, I would start going through the Biggerpockets podcast and webinar archive and finding episodes that our geared towards beginners and the tips for networking, building a core group of contacts, and learning the fundamentals of finding and analyzing deals.
