Looking to Network with like-minded investors.

[Clarence Harvey]

Hello, my name is Clarence Harvey, i have made a few posts on the forum before. I did want to reach out and see if anyone knows of any investor meetups or fairs in the cleveland--cuyahoga area. I am looking to start my real estate journey within the next year and would love to network and create connections in order to further my journey.

I will be house-hacking my first property by age 26 (I am 24) and looking to scale up relatively quickly, but getting an understanding from a network of investors would be amazing. If anyone wants to connect please let me know. i am also looking to engage in investor meet ups!

To start investing in real estate, join Real Estate Investor Associations (REIAs) like Greater Cleveland REIA and Akron-Canton REIA. Find meetups on platforms like Meetup.com, Eventbrite, and local events like Cuyahoga Land Bank Events. Join Facebook groups like Cleveland Real Estate Investors or Ohio House Hackers for upcoming events. Prepare your elevator pitch, engage online before attending, and ask questions to maximize networking. Utilize resources like Cuyahoga County Property Auctions and Cleveland's Neighborhood Progress to find distressed properties and track redevelopment trends. Building your network now will be beneficial as you scale.

Good luck!
