Going to my first REI meeting this month - advice?

[Alex Silang]

I'm going to my first REI meeting this month. I'm a buy-and-hold investor. So what should my objectives be?

* I'd like someone to recommend a good property manager

* Likewise, I'm looking for recommendations for a real estate agent

* General information on being a landlord in the Wocester, Ma area.

Other than that, what should I try to find? I'm not doing a strategy like wholesaling, from my newbie point of view buy-and-hold benefits less from networking.

Thanks
