If you’re not plugged into a real estate investor community, you’re missing the fastest way to grow your portfolio, find deals, and skip costly mistakes. The right real estate networking group can be a total shortcut connecting you to people, knowledge, and opportunities you’ll never get alone.

In this episode of The Real Estate Pessimist, Kristi and Erik break down the single most underrated hack in real estate: surrounding yourself with the right people. Not the “complain and coast” crowd… but a real investor community that pushes you to grow, makes you smarter, and brings deals straight to your lap.

We cover how to find them, how to make them work for you, and why knowing when to leave is just as important as joining in the first place.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The key differences between paid and free investor communities

• How to spot (and avoid) the time-wasters and tire-kickers

• The hidden ROI of paying to be in the right room

• Why entrepreneurship gets lonelier the more successful you become—and how to fix it

• Simple ways to build relationships that lead to actual opportunities

• How to create your own community if you can’t find the right one

• The signs it’s time to exit a group and move on
  

Bold truth: If you’re trying to do this alone, you’re already at a disadvantage.
