Its hit and miss when it comes to good and bad investors (finding them at least), but who is to say someone is a good investor as appose to a bad one? But when it all comes down to it I would have to agree with noobdog1 the more you put yourself out there the more possiblity of businees and new ventures! Thanks for your time and I hope you have fun networking with other people on the site.

thanks for the help guys, sorry about the misspelling guys thank u again for over looking, but back to the advice u guys gave its great advice and im definantly going to try some of those. if u guys have any more ideas please feel free to drop an line

When I was initially building my list I was very hungry to talk with ANY and EVERY investor I could find. Every time I'd see a house being rehabbed or a For Rent sign, or I Buy Houses sign, I'd stop or call and talk with them. You can also look through the county clerks office or the tax records and find multiple property owners. Researching MLS listings and HUD listings that needed work and sold to investors is a good way also.

If you're looking for investors then start brainstorming how to find investors. What do they do and how can you find them? What do investors do to find houses? Where do they go? Where do I find information on them? How do I track/find them?

The thing is that many times you will come to a place where you don't exactly what to do or how to do whatever it is that you are trying to do, and you need to start working on figuring out ways to figure stuff out. Obviously this forum is an excellent source, but you also need to start utilizing your own ability to brainstorm and put things together. The more you develop your ability to think outside the box and figure stuff out, the further you will go in this business.

Though REI Groups are very good for networking, and out of the many property's I sold last year, I have never sold one at a group meeting. I have found most of them lacking, at least in my area. I have found some great ones in other areas. I guess its a hit or miss.
