I joined to learn more through reading the  discussion boards and by offering my services to people in the DFW area. 

Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too.

I have made some offers since Dec 2021, but have not purchased as the rates do not have underwriting that shows my high expectations on return. 

I have multiple offers.

Black Friday usually offers the best deals though other holiday weekends get pretty close.

I frustratingly see so many deal offers, particularly in Multi-Family space, where GP/sponsor is putting nothing or next to nothing into the equity portion and is collecting 2-3% acquisition fee/ 0.5-1% loan origination fee/ 1.5% yearly asset management fee/ 1-2% disposition fee and then 50/50 splits to 60/40 splits over fairly modest hurdle rates of like 14-15%, and it seems this latter structure incentivizes GP to take more risks particularly with debt options.

Joining BP is a great step, but when you've educated yourself and have met some folks, start talking to lenders and find a good investor agent... and start submitting offers!

Jamiek,VA is a great tool for home ownership and for making the move into REI since it offers 100% financing.
