He was very clear about networking, forming long term relationships with approved investors and having a track record to get into a position to call one or a few folks and get a project funded quickly.

Networking from what I can tell but what else?

@Shaun Reilly, do you happen to go to the black diamond networking sessions?

Hello All,I joined BP awhile back, but have not done the networking needed to be successful, so why not start now.

Although I will not be able to make it (working a double shift today) it is great to know there are networking opportunities.

You'll find everything you need to know here plus a bunch of great people to network with.

I'm fairly new myself but I would say that the first step in being a successful Real Estate Investor is to network with people who are actually doing what you want to do.

Everything from the contacts and networking, to the nuts and bolts training I purchased.

Getting to some networking group meetings is definitely a priority @Adam Roberts Thanks and likewise!

@Toni Fowler Your best bet is to start attending some local investment club meetings to network, learn, and ask questions about the market from folks that know it well.
