Network with experienced real estate investors on here.

Also, you may want to attend your local real estate investment club to network and find others who are doing what you want to do.

We would like to purchase a SFH in the area and my question is this: In the long run, what would be more financially wise, holding onto our current property and scraping together a small downpayment for a less expensive SFH or selling our current property and applying a $100,000 downpayment toward a larger SFH?

@Johnny Stacks If they're looking into buying and holding, they'll have to pick an area to invest, learn the market and build their network...before they buy.

Hello ladies and gentlemen My name is Sherif, I was just wondering if there are any real estate investors around the New York, New Jersey area that wouldn’t mind me networking with them on a more than just keyboard level.

Of course since we are new to the area we are looking for local real estate agents to network with who can give us a feel for the market climate and whom we can refer clients to.

My goals for the future are to network and build many strong connections, own rental properties, flip houses for resale (seeming as my experience will help with the rehab process) and to make wholesale deals.

I am looking forward to connecting and networking  with many great local talents to obtain my very first deal! 

I also own my own tax practice and handle tax resolution cases for Tax Defense Network.

Hello everyone,This is kind of a weird question but my fiance  and I will be attending our first REIA meetup this weekend and it occurs to me that every businessman I’ve ever met says you must have business cards at networking events, and we have none.Now my first thought is, we haven’t made our first deal and are still planning to pull the trigger in about 2 months, so it really feels sorta presumptuous to print off business cards which say anything real estate related.On the other hand, having never really been to a meetup not related to my day job where I would totally have business cards, I’m unsure if it’s really bad etiquette not to have them.So my quick poll is, as people who have done this way more than me, what do you guys think?
