starting to invest

[Sharnell James]

so i finally moved states with my family and we are so ready to stop working for others. im ready to start investing but im having a hard time meeting other investors in grand rapids or michigan(Maybe because i work too manys hours). what are some good places to look when you want to get a partnership and do deals with other investors to start? Do you feel that going half with an investor is best or doing it on your own?

Welcome @Sharnell James! You've come to the right place to meet others. In Grand Rapids there is a great networking REI group that meets the 2nd Monday of every month at Buffalo Wild Wings on 44th at 6pm. It's a great place to meet other investors.

As far as partnering with other investors I suppose it really depends on the relationships you build with investors and also what kinds of deals you're looking at.  

If you can't make it to the REI meetings, BP is a great place to network with and learn from others.
