Meetup Suggestions in NYC

Hey community! 

I'm a rookie based in NYC. I'm thinking about not starting out in NYC just due to the prohibitive prices so I'm exploring Tennessee, Indiana, and Arizona as good out-of-state locations to start with more affordable properties (but would love to hear other people's perspective on this). I've started analyzing Craigslist posts using the Bigger Pockets calculator and have learned a lot from that (thus far only negative cash flow properties thus far but that's part of the fun!). I'm just continuing to read, listen to podcasts (before Bigger Pockets I started listening to "STR Success Stories" with Julian Sage and I highly recommend to learn more about STR), watch youtube videos cold call agents/properties/anyone who will respond and do deal analysis.

I see the most common advice is to really start networking so I'm posting A) to connect with any other folks in NYC B) to ask for any suggestions for meet-ups/networking opportunities in the city. Thank y'all and good luck to anyone else just starting out!
