If the market takes a turn or your next deal doesn't go as planned it would be very easy to get upside down on your property and have trouble making ends meet.

Great chance to meet up with some Realtors. 

After consulting with your mortgage broker, you find out that it'd meet the requirements for an upgrade and you can qualify for the new mortgage in addition to your current mortgage. 

I’m hoping to network and meet people from the area and learn as much as I can to grow my knowledge base and give back through interactions with you all in this community.

I am traveling to Istanbul, Eskisehir and Ankara within the next few weeks and I would love to meet with investors/ Realtors or wholesalers in these areas.

KelvinYou might consider joining some local real estate investor organizations.UCREIA is one the the largest and best - attend a few meetings and network.Partnering with an experienced investor is also a good idea.Greenville SC is a great place to invest.Good luck!

I have always read to look for that first deal around 80-140k maximum and I have seen increasingly less and less houses that meet the requirements I need.

I look forward to expanding my network and meeting other like minded people close to me!

The meet up will be at The Grill.
