Which is why you have a vested interest in being on the Board, or at least attending meetings.

I studied finance (MS & BS), and it's taught me a TON about real estate, as i do all the financing/books for our business, which is an integral part.    

The best advice I can give is to read/listed to everything you can and don't be afraid to ask questions and network with anyone you can who can help you advance and meet your goals.

Im always up to meet new like minded individuals

Very excited to check out the areas and connect with new people.We would love to meet up with anyone looking to chat real estate and have some good conversation! 

I have a couple of friends that attend meet-ups - I'll have to start attending more with them.I'm trying my best to keep myself occupied with REI material anytime I have down time.

Next meeting is next Tuesday !

I am getting ready to meet with a motivated seller of a distressed property. 

We're looking for a brokerage that has no sales goals/quotas (or 1 sale/yr to maintain active status), no or minimal monthly fees, flat fee, no expectations of meetings or working from an office, but enough of a presence to answer basic questions as needed.If you have any folks you'd like to recommend that meet all (or most) of the criteria above, please share.

I was wondering if there are any wholesaler meet-ups in the DC/ NOVA area or any other ways I can connect with more people.
