Attend happy hours, networking events, charity events. 

For now, looking to develop local network and develop relationships to both learn and help others where I can.

I think your experience could vary widely.

Hello AllI would like to find/connect/network with good multi – family (apartment building) broker in Maryland / Pennsylvania.I became of member of couple of RIEA meet ups and planning to join different sessions to build my network and meet brokers.

I’m from the Richmond area maybe we can get together and do some networking?

Learning, analyzing deals, making contacts and networking, walking neighborhoods - start learning the craft, the market, and the numbers so you'll be prepared once you find your first potential deal.

Regardless of your current situation in regards to experience or capital, you will still need to network and meet people.

This business is like any other; you are only as good as your network.

If you don't know anyone that has money to partner with, increase your network.

Go to a bunch of real estate groups, and the networking events in particular.
