100000% yesI similarly began attending meetups about 4 years ago.

I'd love to attend these meetings. 

@Marc ShinI recommend finding local meetups to attend. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521I have found all of my best BRRRR connections at local meetups.

If you’re attending, I’d love to connect!

@Dean GulloTo build connections in Southington and surrounding areas, join local real estate meetups, connect through BiggerPockets forums, get involved with local landlord associations, reach out to real estate professionals, attend town or community events, and expand your team.

I used a promo code provided at the end of a webinar and paid for one full (discounted) year after attending "The 90 Day Challenge" with Dave Meyer.Attendees who purchase the Pro membership are supposed to get the "Real Estate by the Numbers" book as well.

I've regularly attended the auction in Brooklyn, but never bidded on anything.

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?

Have you attended any events from this group: https://www.meetup.com/annapolis-baltimore-real-estate-inves...I have friends that attend similar meetings with REA groups in other markets and say it's really useful.

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.
