Hello everyone my name is Deivys i moved from Cuba to Miami 5 years ago , always knew that real estate investment was the way to financial freedom in the moment i am willing to do what it takes to make it happen i am a father of two and they are my motivation.
I want to network with another Investors in the area can someone advice the best way to do this.
Currently building a data base with lenders, brokers, contractors, wholesellers and investors any advice will be amazing.
Looking for a mentor program in Miami willing to give away the profits for the knowledge not much on the savings at the moment.
Thank you BP for such an amazing site, have a great day you all.

@Deivys Gonzalez - If information and networking is what you are seeking, you've come to the right place - at least, it's the perfect launching point to your career in real estate.
The best way to network with other RE professionals in your area is to attend the local REIAs and other investor meetings:
@Account Closed's company hosts an excellent lunch meeting in Weston on the last Wednesday of every month
DREIA hosts a monthly event in Miami Shores on the 3rd Wednesday. Occasionally they also do an event in Ft. Lauderdale - it's tonight actually, I'll be there (www.dreia.org)
BREIA hosts a monthly meeting on the first Wednesday (www.breia.com)
There are others that I haven't gotten a chance to check out yet, but the above events are my staples.
As for mentor programs, you're going to get mixed reviews on BP...I think they can be great or a waste - really depends on the person. The mentor program isn't going to make you a successful investor, you have to already have that inside you - the program/coaches are just there to help bring that out. If you're just too scared to take action, or have analysis paralysis, having the backing of a seasoned veteran can really help you get over those things. The DREIA team is really great, and they have a mentor program you might want to look into.
Please add me to your database - I'm a wholesaler, rehabber, and lender. Hope we can do some deals together real soon!

I agree with Lucas to check out all the city and county investment clubs. Palm Beach also has one on the 4th Wednesday of every month at night. Weston REIN is a solid group of industry professionals that meet on the 4th Wednesday for a lunch meeting.
I know it’s been 4 years since this post , but thank you for the info, I’m thinking on doing the Breia mentorship but it’s $ 34000 that I could’ve use to buy my first house
