I would like to get opinions from other BP types on side income & networking opportunity that I've stumbled into.I'm an active REI investor in Southern CA with a day job in the electrical industry; I've been actively employed for over 25 yrs, and I plan to replace my W2 income with rental income over the next five years.

Rehabbing and taking equity out will result in a larger payment, so that isn't going to accomplish what you are looking to do.

Hi, just trying to expand my network.

I'm just wondering, I'm new to investing, and I was just wondering if their is a strategy to network at these meetings.

Have you considered selling and investing the proceeds in a larger multifamily?

I'm based out of Hampton Roads, specifically Virginia Beach and I'm looking to start attending some local REIA's and general networking with other investors, marketing professionals, Real Estate attorney, title companies, builders and contractors etc.

I looking forward to networking, sharing, and growing with BiggerPockets community!

I'm looking to network, share stories and knowledge.

This site is great for networking and getting a ton of real estate information. 

Analyze 50 deals and network with a bunch of investors and you will learn expenses and market cap rates/comparable prices.
