Investor from Massachusetts

[Chris Anderson]

Hi BiggerPockets,

I am searching for investment avenues and found this site. It has great content and seems like friendly individuals that help out each other. I have been reading as much as I can regarding real estate investment strategies. I have not made any deals yet but would like to soon. As a new Real Estate investor, Where would all of you suggest I start? Should I be reading certain books? Reading articles? attending networking events? Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Chris

@Chris Anderson -Welcome!  I've been reading BP and listening to the podcasts for awhile now and they are indeed great.  I'm just getting into my local area networking as I've just returned to the Boston area from Australia.  I'm going to the Black Diamond event in Waltham next week - check that out (do a search here or the internet).  I went to the NEREIA this past week in Chelmsford and that was pretty informative.  I used meetup.com to find some local groups - there are a few.
