I am close to finishing my first apartment purchase and I am looking for others to network with and share war stories.

We have formed a network of licenced contractors that we have worked with over the past , that are all quality sub contractors.

For the most part the MLS and internet don't have much more than full retail and I haven't heard of much through networking.

Put another way, you'd be diving into a complex profession with no experience, massive risk exposure, and no support network.

However, I would love to network with anyone in Both Carolinas.

Looks like an ideal place to network about real estate.

Since i haven't networked with any agents

Find local groups so you can network with folks.

The best way is to network with real investors at your real estate investors club (see the link on this site for a listing of clubs in your area), and/or call for rent ads and signs and talk to the landlords, who may be buyers for more properties, and establish a buyers list.

Maybe, how strong is your network of people with lots of money?
