@Viviana Ramirez you dont NEED to work with a wholesaler, they are simply another resource that you can use.Don't worry about if they're nice and friendly, worry about the deals they have.Local REI meetups are a place to start networking.

Hello, I’m new to this BiggerPockets community and just looking network and talk with some investors or just people with good advice in general!

@Jerry Swanson networking through the local REIA’s and meet ups are a great way to get started.

Looking to network and potentially intern for syndicators in LA or anywhere along California up to Santa Barbara.

Leveraging your network can be a powerful springboard, especially with so many people in the industry.

Still trying to build my team and network as I go.

It takes time, networking, scale, and being a closer to get on the short list.

My success in closing on these 2 properties (multifamily and single family) in Jacksonville could not be done without the BiggerPockets network.

I need to do more number crunching and networking to decide if Wichita is a good place to invest.
