Hello all, I've been working at RE investing for about a year and a half now and have executed 3 pretty solid deals (the third closes tomorrow) and have learned a ton.  I've done most of this on my own via online research and trial and error, with a little bit of help from an investor friend.  Looking back now, I'm glad I did it that way, but I definitely could've been more efficient and probably done twice as many deals if I'd put more effort into networking and working together with other investors.  

So that's basically the reason for this post. I'd very much like to start developing relationships with other investors, both online and off. I'm getting ready to join the local REIA and take advantage of meetups. I'm not asking for a mentor or anything like that, I think I have a lot to bring to the table. I've already got another purchase I'm working on and also have what I think is a very good quality mailing list that I'm getting ready to send out. I think my main strength right now is deal finding (putting together good mailers and negotiation) while I'm still very green when it comes to execution and marketing.

Anyways, if you are a VA investor on a comparable experience level, feel free to contact me. I may consider a partner on my current project but definitely on future deals. I'm expecting a few potential opportunities from my next mailing and probably won't be able to bankroll them all myself. I'm also interested in connecting with any money lenders and skip tracers out there. Cheers!

Teren, I don't know if this is too far but we have an REI meetup in Harrisoburg every 3rd Wednesday. Feel free to reach out for more info.

@Mattias Clymer cool thanks for the info. I’m not too far from there, maybe I can make it to a meeting in the future. Where do you guys meet?

I am also a relatively new investor and am trying to network with like-minded people. 

Currently own 2 rentals in NoVa and am looking for my next purchase.

Hi @Teren Cooley I invest in the Richmond area, but live in Northern Virginia. I am having a meet up in January for local investors. I will post it on BP this week. 

Hello My name is Stephen I’m a newbie and only have one rental but I own an Investigation Company and could Help with your skip tracing since that is what we do. I’m currently working towards meeting and learning from others. 

Feel free to contact me if I can be of any help.

@Mary K. Thanks for the reply and congrats on the two rentals. Sent you a colleague request and would love to discuss more with you

@Lewis Anderson Cool, I’m also from Fredericksburg, but have been in Richmond for about 4 years. I also did my first deal in FL, Daytona Beach to be specific. Have you linked up with any other investors in the Fred/Nova area?

@Heather Skowronsky Great, thanks! I’m very interested

@Stephen Mobley Yes, I would love to talk about your business. I definitely need some help in that area for a current project. Sent you a colleague request

@Teren Cooley I haven't linked up with anyone in the Fredericksburg area yet

@Teren Cooley Hey Teren I have one rental property near D.C. and one fixer upper in Baltimore that I may move into. I own and live in D.C. but I grew up in Tidewater and currently have a lot of relatives in Richmond. Always interested in chatting with folks into REI especially east coast Tidewater thru New York City as those areas are most familiar and interesting to me.

@Teren Cooley You should reach out to @Taylor L.

@Raphael Alexis will do, thanks!

Hi Teren, and others I am in Lynchburg and looking for RE investment opportunities. Seems like the market in VA is not that great, so I am also looking out of state. Definetely interested in networking with others in VA on finding deals and learning anything I can.

I'm a newbie just getting started with experience in house hacking. Would love to network with local investors in VA. I'm in Mount Jackson.

Hey Dwight, house hacking is a great way to get into investments.  Let’s connect and maybe you can come to our investment club sometime! 

I would love to meet new folks! I am in Tysons Corner and will be purchasing my primary residence this year, which I will house hack to get my feet wet. Currently looking for rental opportunities in the area! 

Hi @Calvin Kwon I currently live in Tysons Corner as well. I actually started my investor life househacking as well and looking to buy my second property in the next 6 months. Let's link up!
