I am new on BP and to real estate and am looking to make some connections with great people and would appreciate any good suggestions!

It's great to see more Arizona people on here too!

I've gone along with people trying this, and they get greedy and end up worse off MORE THAN 50% of the time because they try and play it over a week or two rather than just as a one-day thing.

Now my question is why in the world would people pay much more in rent when they could be with only a couple grand down and invest in there own property?

This means that saving $15K is out of the realm of possibility for those people.

You have sheriff auction from all five precints, trustees auction, and people from auctions.com there.

Sometimes I need to remind the people that I hire that I can do the job, I just choose not to.

I just wanted to introduce myself and be able to build a network and perhaps some friendships with like minded people.

Before you go, get some business cards from VistaPrint (nothing special, just name, phone number, and email) so you can hand them out to people at the meetings.

Just like you, people come from all walks of life bringing different experiences and outlooks.Evan
