The larger house will certainly cost more to build and I presume you will want/need/expect to charge more rent for it.

I've heard a variety of ways people network to find deals, from going to meet ups to talking to local realtors or brokers in their town.

I am an out-of-state investor looking to connect with investors in the greater Cincinnati area to build up my network.

The emphasis on learning the operational side of investing early on will certainly serve you well in the long run.As you begin your journey, remember that networking with experienced investors and leveraging the wealth of knowledge within the BP community can be invaluable.

Contractors, PMs, and lenders will open doors faster than online networking aloneBest next steps when you land:• Start building U.S. credit immediately• Get bank accounts and an LLC set up cleanly• Attend local meetups and talk to people who actually own in Syracuse• Focus on learning underwriting so you recognize a good deal when one shows upMost people underestimate how long the setup phase takes.

But on the investing side, I’m here to learn, network, and build long-term relationships with flippers, landlords, agents, contractors, and other professionals in Oregon and Washington.I’m especially interested in:Building a stronger local networkLearning from experienced investorsUnderstanding multi-unit renovationsImproving renovation systemsExploring BRRRR and small development opportunitiesMy goal on Bigger Pockets isn’t to push business — it’s to be part of the community, contribute where I can, and connect with people who are also serious about growth and long-term success.If you’re in Oregon or Washington and open to networking or sharing experiences, I’d love to connect.Glad to be here and excited to learn from everyone.— DenisPortland, OR Welcome Denis!

I thought it was pretty funny one night I was at one of the larger REIAs in my area. 

Not sure what your financial means are and whether that's possible on your own or whether you need to be an equity partner and participate in larger transactions. 

I was having a conversation with someone about the different FB/Skool/REIA groups I network in, and they recommended BiggerPockets and added, "especially for connecting in DFW."
