Is Networking a Waste of Time?
Are real estate networking events actually worth your time? In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan shares what he has learned from attending meetup groups across Dallas-Fort Worth while building FixedLending's presence in Texas. He breaks down what makes a networking group worth returning to, how to avoid wasting time, and why the real value is not collecting business cards—it is building relationships that can turn into opportunities months down the road. Ryan also explains why consistency matters, how he judges whether an event is worth the time investment, and why follow-up is where most of the real networking work happens. At FixedLending, the goal is not to walk into a room looking for an immediate loan. It is to meet people, add value, build trust, and create relationships before the deal ever shows up.
