The only course I've purchased to date cost less than $400 and one of the insurance tips got my mentor/investment partner out of a potentially sticky situation.

Although I know it will pick up, does anyone have any tips on extra income ideas in the industry while there are slow periods?

It looks like a solid, and I’m excited to dig in.If anyone here is investing in Louisville (or has in the past), I’d really appreciate any tips, insights, or just connecting to share experiences.Thanks in advance,  looking forward to learning from you all!

Appreciate any tips!

A few ways to find REIAs or meetups in Riverside County:BiggerPockets Local Meetups – Check the events section; many local investors post in the area.Local Facebook Groups – Search for “Riverside Real Estate Investors” or “Inland Empire REIAs.”Networking at events – Even if there isn’t a formal REIA nearby, look for open house tours, workshops, or landlord associations; they’re often smaller but valuable.LinkedIn Events – Search “real estate investing Riverside CA” for networking events or webinars.Sometimes, smaller, informal groups are just as helpful as formal REIAs, especially for sharing deals and local tips.

Your focus on tech and commercial deals is super relevant—so much is changing in how properties are valued and managed.One tip from my experience: network as much as you can early on.
