Looking to connect with local investors and realtor

[Ashley Mutawakkil]

Hello all, I am new to Biggerpockets and have made a decision to pursue real estate investing with the hopes of purchasing my first residential multifamily rental. I currently work full-time with the government, but the idea of financial freedom is so exhilarating!!! It would be great to connect with an investor friendly realtor in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area!! Any suggestions? Furthermore, I think connecting with other local investors would be very helpful to me as this is all new to me. I currently trying to do my due diligence by learning what I can from reading the forums, listening to the Biggerpockets podcasts, webinars, etc. however, the opportunity to be able to establish a connection with likeminded investors would be extremely helpful and make this new journey for me a little less intimidating. Feel free to reach out! Thanks all!!
