Hey @Augusta Owens Bigger Pockets has been so valuable to me in my own journey, so you are in the right place.Ive been hosting an investor meetup the past 3 years and it's been a great place to collaborate with the like minded individuals and collaborate. 15-25 people show up each month and range from new investors to people,e who have been investing for decades.would love to connect and get you some more information!
