Hi all!

I'm Ryan. I'm entering my third year at college in Worcester, Massachusetts. I attended a few webinars and have read a lot of form posts/blog posts about the beginning of real estate investment. I'm a full time student August-May but I want to spend some time in the next two years networking and working on building my "toolbox" for my future. Aside from reading BP, listening to BP Podcasts and networking on site what else should I look into? 

All responses are welcome!

Hi Ryan, welcome to BP.

This is a great place to learn. Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.

This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business. Lots of great connections all over but we also have a very strong and active contingent here in MA and CT on here so make sure to find them (Set up some keyword alerts to find out about local topics) and get connected.

Besides doing that on here make sure to get out to some of the many local investor events we have. As Toby mentioned the CT REIA when you are back home is one of the biggest players out there and is a Guru factory being where Robyn Thompson and the "Fortune Builders" Paul and Than all started. When in school as he also said the Black Diamond event in town is really good. If you have one of those horseless carriages there are at least a dozen things out east going from the Cape though Boston and up to Manchester NH. Actually for you the best bet after those first two suggestions is the fairly new Western Mass REIA that is in Springfield. You will be able to broaden your MA and CT network there.
