My real estate networking world ranges from local meetings to national communications thanks to this blog, emails, Facebook, Google Plus, Skype, Meetup and more. Even though it’s been 5 years since I started investing in real estate, it’s obvious to me there is always more to learn. Between the governmental restrictions, unpredictable market changes, shady characters trying to sell you the next big investing strategy, and the even shadier ones that come up with schemes to extract money from your bank account, I feel like I’m jumping around in a mine-field, hopping from spot to spot all while hoping to make a little money in this business.
There are a few resources and educators I believe are worth investigating:

Facebook: Wholesaling Houses Full Time (Closed Group)
There’s an incredible amount of positive energy in this group, from newbie questions, to deal making from investors to advice from investors all over the country (and beyond). Whenever a newbie approaches me, I send them to two places, this is one of them.
BiggerPockets.com
This site has been around for a long time and has years worth of questions and answers in all areas of real estate investing.
PropertyMob.com
Tracy Caywood is a wholesaler that has put her business on steroids. She’s blogged for years, just like me, and has some wonderful stories that are educational and entertaining. I especially love her “Angry Sellers” recordings.
Virtual Real Estate Investor Association
I really like these guys if you’re interested in doing rent-to-own or buying properties “subject-to” the existing mortgage. They’ve implemented a system complete with training, contracts, and are building a nationwide community of investors to share deals throughout the country. They provide good support and a very interactive Facebook Group. Check them out.
REI Rockstars
Dani-Lynn Robison, her husband Flip and attorney Mark Torok have mastered maneuvering around the “due on sale” clause when it comes to “subject-to” investing. They are worth checking in with if you are looking in to this investment strategy. Check them out.
