I'm readying "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Turner right now and have a couple of other books in the queue. I will be attending my third Bigger Pockets webinar on Thursday. I follow Bigger Pockets and one or two other real estate investors on You Tube.
Question: there is a Home Show scheduled here in SECT from 2/21 through 2/23 that I can get free tickets for. Am I likely to meet contractors or other investors in these types of events?

hi @Charlie Magnan ! Welcome to BP. Norwich has a Landlord meeting at Dime bank once a month and @Mat O'Grady heads up a BP investors meeting he coordinates once a month. That's a great place to meet local investors. As far as contractors, what type are you looking for? I can help you with a list and I know Mat and the group created a vetted list of trusted folks for contractors in the area that would be a great start as well.
What are your goals? Why kinda of REI do you want to do?

@David Wolber for the Landlord meeting info - I'll see when the next meeting is.
For contractors, I'm looking to locate reputable full service and specialty (plumbing, electrical, etc.) companies.
My goal is to have $5,000 per month in cash flow by 12/31/26 to supplement my (future) retirement. I plan to meet that by buying and holding mostly multi-family units, but I won't turn away single family. I will initially look locally and branch out to other areas once I have a couple under my belt.
