I'd be happy to connect and share with you my insight and experience.

For local connections I’d recommend checking out the RI Real Estate Investors Group.They meet once a month in person for members and with another virtual meeting each month open to non-members too.I’ve been a member since 2003 and generally found it worthwhile.

You can find the deals, just have to be connected to the locals and walk into those units reeking of cat piss and say "Smell's like a deal, baby".

Study up on legal issues, property management, market research, property analysis, and finance possibilities.Participate in online forums like BiggerPockets, attend meetups, join local investing clubs, and establish online and offline connections with other real estate investors.

Just sent you a DM to connect. 

I connect you with my lender.

I would connect with top realtors in your market who understand the value of working with a wholesaler and try to figure out their buyer network.

I analyze from the investor's pov as opposed to the typical wholesale formula and would love to connect with you and grow together!

I'm new to real estate investing and just want to connect with & learn from those on this platform.
