Florida Networking Opportunities

[Gabriel Martinez]

Hi all!

I recently bought my first property - a 2 bedroom 2.5 bath townhome which is also where I reside now. Even though i just recently got my feet went and went through the ropes of my first purchase I'm very eager to network and learn from experienced investors in my city/community. With tampa being such a large and ever-growing community there is no way there are no real estate conventions/clubs/or networking events where i can really leverage my connections and really get to learn from really savvy people. 

Do you have any recommendations on where i should start? ive been mostly looking for conventions but everything ive found is along the lines of "Grant cardone featuring david goggins panel; buy your tickets for $400 and network like never before" - anything more aligned/tailored for local investors?

We have a meetup starting in Lakeland in the second week of May and it will posted here on BP. There is another meetup already going in that area as well. Tampa has some as well. You want to focus on meetups that are for connections and avoid the ones with speeches and presentations because when you have those, there is usually a pitch. You want pitch-free, networking with investors.
