Hello BP community,

I am working towards establishing my real estate investment business and am looking to build my core team and make mutually beneficial contacts within the community. I currently reside in Spring Hill, FL but through work I travel the entire Bay area. We have only lived in the area for a short time and do not know a lot of people here. I welcome the opportunity to meet other like-minded individuals and build valuable and profitable relationships for us both.

@Adam Shelton Attend local REIA meetups and take RE professionals out for coffee, lunch, drinks etc

That's the best <$50 you'll ever spend on real life education along with building solid relationships for future deals and partnerships. This is exactly how I got started

Something I learned from an investor I look up to, try meeting one new contact every week for lunch/coffee etc. Consistency is the key here. It starts small but your network will start witnessing a compounding effect and you'll pretty much become one of the most well-connected people in your area

I'm a licensed FL lender and work pretty much with investors to expand their portfolios so feel free to DM me

Hi @Adam Shelton, I suggest reaching out to @Josh Green. He’s a true expert in the areas that you’re looking to invest. He’s assisted a few of my clients in the Tampa Bay Area and am sure he can help you with your real estate needs!

Hello Adam, I see @Josh Green replied to you already. I worked with Josh recently, I just closed on a property he helped me out with. He is an amazing realtor/investor and helped me out quit a bit as a new RI. He is in the Tampa area and would be a great contact for you. I would recommend reaching out to him. For a lender I would reach out to @Nick Velez, he is great to work with and is very knowledgeable when it comes to loans for investors. Hope this helps and good luck.

 Good afternoon Adam,

I am also new to the area. I just submitted my application for licensure, and will be scheduling my state exam immediately upon approval. Once licensed I would love to grab a drink and talk about anything real estate related.  gimme a shout if that's something you would be interested in.
