A total newbie here
Hello BP folks!
I am an absolute newbie to the realm of Real estate investment, but I am hungryyyy to learn. I am currently a fashion photographer, so trust and believe I have no experience even holding a hammer. And thus I am looking to build a solid team. I would love to know any real estate investment meet up events going on in Virginia and in Pennsylvania. I am planning on spending next three months just learning the ins and outs, building a team, and hopefully by summer I am ready to pull the trigger on my first fix-and-flip project!
Any valuable tips on getting over the fear of your first flip being a massive failure? :) I don't mind learning from failures, but first project tanking would really be a major setback, even financially.
Many thanks in advance!

Hey Nusrat! Welcome to BiggerPockets and thanks for joining!
Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account.
Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.
Follow your favorite forum topics and set up keyword alerts! Adding keywords related to your investment strategy or market locations can be updated in your settings. You’ll receive notifications when there is conversation in the forums you follow or if a user mentions those keywords—so keep them updated often!
Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do.
Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!
