Hi guys I’m a newbie in The Miami area looking to get into real estate investing. I’m currently starting out with wholesaling first. I know that this is a great way to build relationships in the industry. Can anyone give me advice on finding Buyers that are serious investors in the area?

Hey Jamile! I second what Karl said and also you are on the right track by introducing yourself on here! In addition to REIA meetings and meetups, posting on here is also a great way to network and find what you are looking for. We are having a meet up coming up next Sunday that I will tag you in!

Any information would be helpful thank you!!!
Hi Jamile, Biggerpockets is a great way to connect with other like minded and motivated individuals. I would 100% recommend going to local REIA meetings and meet ups, you will be able to continue learning from others who are further along in wholesaling and investing, and also connect with investors looking to buy properties in your area.

What @Karl Hinkel and @Krystal Todd have recommended are right on the money. BP is a gold mine of information that you can dig through to find the answer to almost any question you have regarding your real estate business. As Krystal alluded to though, participating in the forums is a priceless way to get to know your community of investors. It also shows the BP community that you're serious about the industry and you're not just someone that will fade away after a week or two. If you can find a way to provide value to the discussion forums, it will go a long way to helping you fill up that buyers list of yours.
I will also be at the networking event Krystal mentioned. It's an informal event catered to the "newbie" so we should be able to meet plenty of like-minded individuals at different stages of their REI journey. Hope to see you there!

@Jamile Brown Hi and welcome to BP! What everyone has said is spot on! You'll find so many posts here about how to find buyers (networking, REIAs, craigslist, cold calling, back tracking buyers through public records, etc), along with anything else you need.
I went to the BREIA meeting a few weeks back for the first time, and yup, you definitely LOT of investors there, many of whom can be added to your cash buyer list. I know there's a Miami Dade specific one too. It is tough going out there your first time and knowing how to approach someone and just talk to them as a newbie (still finding my way through that) lol.
Good luck! Hopefully we get to connect with you next weekend at the meetup if you can make it!

@Jamile Brown Thank you for your reply! No I currently don't and this is why I came here to network and soak in any information I can and I definitely plan on attending the events. There's one coming up Aug 26! We can always network together! :)
thanks Karl for welcoming me!!!!! Can you tell me what days are those meetings I would Love to be in attendance
Hi Jamile, the days that the REIA meetings are can vary. I would check out some of the BP meet ups in Miami or Broward County. Another great place to look for meet ups is on Meetups.com
I went to their Shark Tank event where people presented their actual deals to "Shark" investors. It really enjoyed it. learned a lot and spoke with some of the vendors in the area. They also run the Miami-Dade REIA. Your first event with them should be free.

@jamile BrownI I also a Real Estate newbie and interested in investing. I just moved to Miami from NY and would love to start becoming more and more educated in the market. For the DREIA event on Wednesday is there a place to register or any cost to attend?
Looking forward to getting involved, learning, and sharing with everybody!

In my opinion the best is to partner up with someone who has experience. And they go half with you. That way both have skin in the game and works out better for you.
Hello Jamile, how has the last year been going? Did you ever partner with a experienced person like Solo Malik said to do? I was Just wondering how the “newbies on this thread” did in the past year or so. Anyone marking more money then they thought they would? Ant did you come across the investor who submits contracts on everything, but will never pull the trigger?

@Jamile Brown
I found that you only need a few serious cash buyers when starting out.
One thing to do is go to listsource and get a list in the zip codes you’re looking to target. Filter it by homes purchased in the last 6 months and then click absentee owned.
Once you get the list, skip trace for the owners phone number. Then call them and ask if they are looking to acquire more properties. If so, add them to your buyers list.
