New Realtor and Aspiring Investor

Hello Bigger Pockets Community! I am a newly licensed Realtor in New Haven, CT and a new member to the Bigger Pockets community. My goals are to learn as much as I can about real estate investing and network with other real estate professionals. I also would like to find local real estate investing groups near New Haven,CT. I want to start investing in real estate by fix and flipping properties. I have a few properties I am currently analyzing. Are there any other real estate investors working in the New Haven area that I can connect with?
