Hey everyone. I'm fairly new to the Tampa area and bigger pockets. I've been researching and reading on this site and have a real passion for getting into real estate investing. I am definitely feeling overwhelmed thinking about making my first purchase but also very excited. If anyone would like to meet up or if there are any meetings coming up, please let me know. I would appreciate it. :)

I am very appreciative that this site and forum was created as it's provided an abundance of great information and look forward to reading and responding to posts in the future! 

Amber

@Amber Stout Welcome to BP and good luck with your investing. I've found that attending local REIA meetings are a great way to network and talk to people about what they do and what they need. I attended the Suncoast REIA meeting last night and made a few good connections.

Just make sure to take action steps, because sometimes people get hung up in the analysis part.  As Pete Fortunato says, make sure you tell everyone you talk to what you're doing in RE.  You're planting seeds now and who knows who you'll run into or will call you even years from now!
