My partners and I run a bimonthly real estate event here in Tampa, you are more than welcome to attend.  

I found this deal through my daughter and wife, who are both real estate agents specializing in commercial properties.

You might already have some real estate the thread did nto mention but if not focus on that first. 

Since the beginning of the year I have been diving into real estate trying to learn as much as I could, whether that was listening to podcasts, joining webinars, or doing my own daily research. 

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

I’m 23 years old and fairly new to the real estate investing world.
