BryanL;I gotcha.finding the deals that you can "add value" to.this would work if you are doing a buy and flip, i assume not so much for people who Wholesale houses.Good point about not joining in the rush of overpriced offers when a hot new listing hits..

This is my first post on BP, very excited to join this community!

I recently joined New Wealth Advisors Club, as they had the signs posted "Real Estate Investors Seek Students".

I'm going to concentrate on the first, but if you want more on the others I will add later.Biz owners: Join your local chamber of commerce.Why the chamber: A) your target market is there:  when u join you get a membership book that is a list of all your target marketB) Chamber members take other chamber member calls:  you have built in credibility with your other members and let's admit it, raising capital is all about credibility.C) At least once a month, Your local chamber will provide you with networking opportunities designed for nothing else but putting you in front of your target market in a nice, easygoing, relationship building scenario.  

I've really learned a lot in the week since I've joined and I like that you don't talk over the person you're interviewing.

I am just joining the biggerpockets forum.

In my area (tx) real estate brokers can take on assistants and the assistant can join the board as an assistant and get full mls access.

I am very passionate about real estate and have joined this community to network and meet other real estate professionals for possible business opportunities.

BUT, I think if every single landlord on this site and other sites like it used "one" (index finger raised) site for "bad tenants" and others joined when needed, a database could eventually build up over time. 

It's great to have investors with previous experience join our ranks.
