The “house” is a double wide that has had additions added to it and sits on 10 acres.

Hi, just trying to expand my network.

I'm just wondering, I'm new to investing, and I was just wondering if their is a strategy to network at these meetings.

I'm based out of Hampton Roads, specifically Virginia Beach and I'm looking to start attending some local REIA's and general networking with other investors, marketing professionals, Real Estate attorney, title companies, builders and contractors etc.

I looking forward to networking, sharing, and growing with BiggerPockets community!

I'm looking to network, share stories and knowledge.

We're casting a wide net and looking all over the country for the right market. 

Analyze 50 deals and network with a bunch of investors and you will learn expenses and market cap rates/comparable prices. 

Since then I have taken in a lot of knowledge on the subject of real estate, and I believe I'm ready to start networking with other investors in my area.

Back in "the day" we would get the same info and a weekend long event for $497 (Wow, now i starting to sound like my grandfather)Today, because of technology being so widely available and inexpensive, you can get the vast majority of the core information that you need to be successful as a real estate investor,  for free!
