Thank you guys for the replies. do you guys think i should write down some questions I want to ask or should I wait till future meetings to ask some questions 

Hello bigger pockets community I am new to the real estate investing world and I am going to a local meet up of investors next week.

However my issue with networking is not knowing how to approach a person. In my personal hobbies it's easy for me to approach someone because of my familiarity of the subject , But being completely new and knowing very little on real estate I don't want to annoy someone with a million questions what I want to do is leave a good impression that could potentially land me a mentor or future business contact.

What would you guys suggest I do to have a positive networking experience during this meet up

I'll be there I cant wait to finally meet other investors. 

Thank you guys for the welcome. 

I've been listening to the podcast all week when I can, and I plan to read some of the blogs/threads as well. 

I am actually starting a video blog soon on youtube so I will link that in my signature to show what I learn throughout this podscast. 

Hello there Bigger Pockets community, My name is Adrian and I am an aspiring REI/Entrepreneur. I've always been the odd man out in life. While people my age focused on the simple things I always had my eyes towards the future and my success. I have had amazing opportunities to witness the life of the wealthy first hand, and I would like to create that freedom from myself. My reasons for choosing real estate as a stepping stone (permanent one) is simple. I love the buy and sell game and I love having the ability to buy something that not only pays itself off but puts extra money in my pockets. I am very ambitious, I want to someday own my own luxury hotels as well as luxury condo buildings. I want to run a fortune 500 company that I built from the ground up and I want my own tower with my name on it to leave a legacy that will inspire others to work and achieve their goals. with those ambitions, I know that it will require a lot of work, and a lot of time to reach those goals, but this is where real estate will pave the way for that success. I am currently starting with nothing as a college kid with a part time job there isn't much in the money department for me so that is why I am beginning with wholesaling. Wholesaling is a great icebreaker into the investment world and I am actively looking for my first deal to take what I have learned into practice. after that I want to form my own company and begin taking on fix and flips, as well as rental properties. as my capital and reputation grow I would like to take on new construction and commercial and constantly build until I reach my tower hotels and condos. I have other interests as well that I want to pursue. I want to own my own road race track, I love fast cars and I love racing so owning my own road track in the states would be a giant dream come true. but like I said that will all come in time for now I am on step one and I hope to meet other investors new and old on this forum and begin this venture in Real Estate.

Sorry for such a long post, but I wanted to give a semi thorough look at who I am and what my goals are. See you on the forums  

Thank you for this resource I am searching for my first Wholesale deal and I wasn't sure what I was going to do about the Contract. now i can continue hunting for deals 

Thank you for the advice I will definitely expand my search and form contacts 

Before you read the post please know I am not asking for a mentor in this post but what would be a good value to present to a local investor (that i would research and find) to mentor under them 

Hello, I am a New investor and I decided to find myself a mentor in my area, but after watching one of the bigger pocket podcasts which said I should bring some value  I started contacting sellers and getting them to send me leads or their own deals. 

so far i have one really consistent investor sending a lot of property deals, and then i have one from time to time lead. 

My question is would this be enough value to offer a local investor or should I wait to get more consistent leads.
