Summary

Networking tips only matter as long as they work. Everyone knows the classic ones—bring a business card, wear a nametag, and look people in the eye. But, when you’re meeting with investors who have big portfolios, it can be easy to get flustered all of a sudden. Maybe you run into your dream mentor at your next real estate meetup—what do you do? Both Ashley and Tony were able to buy their first rentals and grow their portfolios thanks to networking. At first, they didn’t know what to do or say, and didn’t have many deals to speak of. But, over time, their net worth grew with their networking skills, allowing them to connect with more investors, find more deals, and build lifelong friendships. They’re testaments that even if you don’t have any deals yet, networking could be what brings you your first! Not used to networking? Here are some suggestions for your next meetup: Sign up for a BiggerPockets meetup in your city and get your tickets to BPCon2022! Don’t stick with your clique, remember that networking is there for you to meet new people Rehearse the question you want to ask if a mentor, speaker, or inspiring investor is at the event Take a break from networking to write down names, lessons learned, and takeaways from conversations Don’t know anyone at the meetup? Join a group (they’ll almost always welcome you openly) And more in the episode… If you want Ashley and Tony to answer a real estate question, you can post in the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group!

0:00.0	This is Real Estate Rookie, Episode 188.
0:05.1	My name is Ashley Care, and I'm here with my co-host, Tony Robinson.
0:13.1	And welcome to the Real Estate Rookie Podcast, where every week, twice a week, we bring
0:17.7	you the inspiration, information, and education you need to kickstart your real estate investing
0:22.0	journey.
0:23.0	So, Ashley, we are super lucky because we just got to spend the last several days hanging
0:28.3	out with each other, which we don't usually get to do.
0:30.5	I know, but honestly, I feel like we never even got to see each other that much, even though
0:35.1	we were confined to a hotel resort for three days and barely got to see each other.
0:42.4	But we just attended the first ever Real Estate Rookie bootcamp weekend in Denver, Colorado.
0:51.1	And we got to meet over 300 rookie investors that maybe had one or two deals.
0:58.2	Some people actually had quite a few deals under their belt already, but a ton of newbies,
1:04.3	rookie investors that haven't done a deal yet.
1:07.4	So we were really excited that they took that stop, took that action to come and learn and
1:13.0	get that motivation to get that first deal done.
1:15.4	Yeah, so many of you know, bigger pockets recently started launching these boot camps,
1:21.4	which are essentially online courses, and I ran the short-term rental boot camp,
1:26.1	Ashley ran the rookie boot camp, and what Ashley did was she took the concept of her boot camp
1:31.4	and turned it into an in-person event.
1:33.4	So like she said, it was really catered towards folks that were at the beginning of their journey.
1:37.8	And man, what an amazing event it was.
1:41.0	And as we were going through that action, I said, well, it might be cool to really talk about
