Jesse Sanford

My name Is jesse and I'm new to real estate I currently have a full time job and I dont want to Quit my job I just want to do real estate on the side for right now. I am interested in flipping houses mostly but maybe renting properties later down the road. I do have alot of question to ask like how to move forward and get started, first I want to meet with an investor and ask him or her questions and Shadow them if possible so I can be more confident in real estate. If anyone has any ideas where meet up groups are held in the Birmingham AL area would be appreciated.
