I'm looking to build my network. Miami Meet Ups? Maybe Virtual?

Question

I'm new to the bigger pockets community and real estate investing. I'm a grad student and I will be finishing school in about a year. That said I want to get started with real estate investing. Problem: I have very little money. However, after listening to the podcast it seems that I can find lenders who could help me finance my first property. Maybe I'm jumping the gun... But I'm just so excited. So I was hoping to start building my network here in Miami... or elsewhere virtually. As Brandon said in the latest podcast, "start building your toolbox." So here I am... building my box. I'm open to any and all suggestions! Thanks!

@Timothy Lewis It seems like you dip your toes in a bit of everything. Nice! Are you a part of any miami-based meet-ups?

Malgorzata Sadowska · Answer

Always happy to connect. Send me a message.

Timothy Lewis · Answer

BRRR, buy and hold, flip...All of the above!! It all depends on the market, project, and exit strategies. lol

Hi @Malgorzata Sadowska. Frankly, I don't know yet. Seeing as I'm new to the community I'm looking to meet a range of people in a variety of roles, and for them to get to know me. I hope that when I'm positioned to start pursuing deals, I'll already have an established network/team to reach out to. Hopefully, you included!

Welcome @Luke Pascal I'm ecstatic that you decided to join the party.

Have you thought about in what capacity you wanted to attack the market? I too, am native to Miami. I'm excited to follow your progress.

Hi @Nick Peters. Thank you for all the resources. I've already checked out a few of them. I also checked out your profile and went ahead and downloaded your free rental property analysis spreadsheet. I can't wait to apply it to properties in my local area. I appreciate the great resource!

Luke Pascal · Answer

Hi @Timothy Lewis! Right now I'm still considering what options I have. Ultimately my goal is to BRRRR. I'm open to wholesaling just to get my feet wet. Seeing as I have no experience in the game, I'm simply looking to get started. What about you friend?

Malgorzata Sadowska · Answer

Awesome! Who are you looking to network with?
