New Real Estate Investor
Hello BP community,
My name is Alex, and I'm happy to be here! It's a pleasure to be with all of you who are taking massive action. I am relatively new to real estate investing. I have 1/2 duplex in Arlington, Texas, which I acquired while working in the media/tech industry in Los Angeles. In 2014, another great job offer in the media industry helped convince me to relocate to Manhattan NY, but I have quickly grown tired of contributing to someone else's "baby". Enough of the rat race! My wife and I are relocating to Arlington TX later this summer to get involved with real estate full time in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, and we are so excited.
I've been reading BP for a little while now, but only recently signed up. I'm still amazed at the amount of great real estate investment information offered here. Priceless!
Happy to meet you all virtually, and would love to connect with others in the Dallas area.
Best,
Alex

Hi Alex. Welcome to BP.
There are many REI meetings in the DFW metroplex. Since I live in Murphy (northeast of Dallas) the closest REI group to me is the North Texas Association if Real Estate Investors (http://ntarei.com/). They have monthly networking meetings and offer special training classes throughout the month.
If you move to Arlington where your investment is there is a large investor group Arlington Real Estate Association of Investors (AREA). Their website is
http://www.meetup.com/realestate-445/. I have not been to their meetings, but they appear to be a very large and active group.
Let me know if you have any other questions about the area. I am glad to help.
Scott
