How to meet like-minded individuals?

[Natasha Lee]

Hi everyone! I'm starting my my way into real estate investing. I'm doing my education (reading, listening, researching) right now and getting ready to buy my first property for house hacking. Are there any groups or meetups in Houston, TX or surrounding areas where I can physically meet people with expertise in my area to share our knowledge?

@Natasha Lee I look on meetup.com, eventbrite, and facebook to find real estate investor meetups in my area. Here are some more resources.

House Hacking is amazing. Here are some resources I found really helpful on my journey.

1. For podcasts I really like the Huse Hacking episodes on Bigger Pockets Podcast and other channels. Here is a playlist with the best House Hacking Podcasts I’ve found: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4A6uLsPfdWEMmJhG4TSjyb?si=743bb403548f47fb

2. Great beginners guide: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Ultimate_Beginners_Guide_BiggerPockets.pdf

3. The Book on House Hacking Strategies by Bigger Pockets is also a fantastic book

4. Happy to talk if you want more advice

5. Connect with a realtor who understands house hacking and has invested themselves

6. Connect with a lender to see what you qualify for and how you can improve that situation

7. Go to local Real Estate meetups and learn from people there
