@Account Closed you haven't shared why you're looking to network.If you're hoping to network with agens & PMCs to have them feed you offmarket properties and other types of "deals", you're just one-of-a-million to them.We get inquires almost every day from OOS investors looking to invest in Detroit.For FREE these investors expect us to:- Drop everything else we're doing and focus on what they want- Spend hours on the phone with them TEACHING them how to invest- Spend hours finding deals for them- At this stage, many NEVER want to make an offer, just want to see better deals or they just disappear- Find lenders for them- and on and on and onSo, right or wrong, it's no wonder many in the industry ignore communications from investors.Recommend you network in person and be respectful of their time.
