It is a great place to connect and network with other investors and ask these kinds of questions on strategy.

I'm new to bigger pockets and looking to build up a network

I'd love to find others in my area to form a mastermind group or to simply network.

There are a number of groups in our area, I recommend the New England REIA for a conventional REIA and invite you to attend our free Black Diamond networking group in Waltham, see url in my signature.It is harder when you don't have cash, you will find many gurus who tell you that you don't need money to get started, but regardless of what they say, at the very least it is more difficult.

BP is also a great networking tool, and if you stay active you will likely find several investors local to you who will be willing to sit down and discuss the local market with you.

Joseph M - I believe that most of my friends are finding their most lucrative deals through their vast network of agents, who themselves are quietly finding distressed owners/sellers and doing deals without ever listing the properties in the MLS.

looks like i just missed one but I look forward to going to the future meetings to network and to learn all I can from all you seasoned investors!

We are going to join our local REIA in our area for further education and to network with other like minded individuals and investors as soon as the next meeting comes around.

Good luck in your networking and deal hunting.

Carlos I'm a multifam buyer for off market properties.But if I were you I would network and get to know the different brokers in your area.
